Historically, medical research has relied heavily on male participants, with findings often generalized to women and children.
If women’s health is discussed at all, it’s largely framed around reproduction.
This special issue of Science highlights the research that is seeking to close the critical gaps in women’s health. Learn more: scim.ag/4hy8ACT
ALT Women make up more than half the population, but most of what we know about women’s biology comes from extrapolation of studies in men. This has been changing in recent years, and this special issue highlights some of the progress in understanding the biological basis of sex differences in health and disease and medical issues relevant to women’s health across different stages of life.

PMOS extends beyond reproductive health, affecting metabolic and overall health throughout life.
Recognizing it as a lifelong endocrine and metabolic condition can support more comprehensive, individualized care.

PMOS affects 10–13% of women and involves genetic, epigenetic, endocrine, metabolic, inflammatory, and reproductive factors. Better screening, clinical awareness, and proactive, specialized treatment strategies can improve pregnancy and birth outcomes for women with PMOS (PCOS).
