The Y chromosome is generally present in those assigned male at birth and generally absent in those assigned female, though intersex people can have a mixture of X and Y sex chromosomes that ...

Another possibility is that cancer cells that have lost their Y chromosome somehow induce Y-chromosome loss, or general chromosomal instability, in surrounding immune cells through an unknown factor.

It's been known since at least the 1960s that blood cells tend to lose Y chromosomes as men age, but the fact that this chromosomal disappearing act is associated with a shorter lifespan, higher ...

Researchers mapped Y chromosome loss across thousands of individual cells from human cancers, with disturbing results.

But the work provides strong evidence that losing the Y chromosome makes cancer cells more aggressive — and that immune cells that lack Y chromosomes are less effective.

It said that men who lost Y chromosomes had a higher risk of Alzheimer’s, heart diseases, and died on an average of 5 years less than the men who did not suffer from the loss.

These scientists may be lesser known than Einstein and Newton, but they made giant contributions to science, including astronomy, physics, chemistry and medicine. Isaac Newton once wrote, "If I have ...
