A welcome development in 21st century urban design is the practice of daylighting, the uncovering of streams that had long been buried or directed into culverts. With an increasing focus on male-female differences in biomedical research (Maric-Bilkan et al., 2016), more light is now being shed on the physiology of sex differences. Researchers have begun to uncover key sex differences in many areas of physiology, with important implications for both males and females. In this Special Issue of Current Opinion in Physiology, we have assembled a group of international scientists who have made major contributions to our understanding of the etiology of sex differences in physiology and how these differences influence the expression of diseases.The study of sex differences in physiology is a highly multi-disciplinary area that overlaps with other disciplines studying general physiology and neurophysiology. We asked a range of biomedical research experts studying sex differences in physiology to provide us with summaries of previous and ongoing work in their particular field, and to advocate novel research questions. In particular what are the goals of this research? Why study these differences? What physiological principles are conserved? What happens when this goes wrong? What does this mean to the health of the animal or the individual? We hope that the reviews in this volume provide a broad perspective on the field that will shape our opinions on studying sex differences in physiology in the future.
