The clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetes (T2D) differ between the sexes. For example, the risk of T2D is higher in males than in premenopausal females, whereas the risk of T2D-associated cardiovascular disease is higher in females. However, the sex-dependent mechanisms of T2D pathogenesis remain incompletely understood. Publicly available human islet datasets, such as HPAP and Humanislets.com, offer a valuable tool for uncovering the impact of biological sex on islet structure, gene expre
