| * the gene Malat1 is a critical player in regulating immune responses in female TH2 cells, but not in males. Malat1 regulates female Th2 cell cytokine expression through controlling early differentiation and response to IL-2. This genetic difference may partly explain why women have a higher prevalence of auto-immune diseases(([[https:// | * the gene Malat1 is a critical player in regulating immune responses in female TH2 cells, but not in males.
