Summary

This early-phase study aims to understand why healthy women seem to resolve inflammation better than men, which may help explain sex differences in heart disease. Researchers will create small blisters on the skin of 34 healthy volunteers aged 18-45 and compare blister size, fluid, and immune cells between men and women over 72 hours. The study does not test any treatment, only observes natural differences.
