‘Why do I feel crappy?’: women are learning about their luteal phases - and Maha is weaponizing it

People have found language for moodiest part of their menstrual cycles, and the right has seized on it

Fantastic work from CoRe trainee, @mercedes-carro.bsky.social from the @cohenlab.bsky.social demonstrating important roles for Argonaute proteins functioning in the nucleus during mammalian meiosis. AGO3 and AGO4 are critical regulators Meiotic Sex Chromosome Inactivation.

very proud to announce the publication of our newest work with Andrew Grimson demonstrating non-canonical roles for AGO3 and AGO4 in mammalian meiosis. Bravo to @mercedes-carro.bsky.social who led this work fearlessly and relentlessly, from mass spec to multiomics. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Researchers at Cornell University reported an effective and reversible solution to male #contraception from studies with #mice. 🔗 www.eara.eu/news/reversi... #AnimalResearch #MaleContraceptive #MensHealth #ReproductiveHealth

Going after contraceptive access would be such a blindingly stupid thing to because the VAST majority of women have used it at some time. Kinda hard to find an experience that 80% of women share in common.

Gosh, and here I thought they'd stop with abortion.

The 2027 Tri-state Symposium on reproductive sciences has begun! We have 270 attendees from our sister Tri-Repro institutions @upenn.edu, @mageewomens.bsky.social, and @rutgersupress.bsky.social, as well as Yale, NIH, UMassC Syracuse U, Nottingham U, etc. @cornellrepro.bsky.social welcomes you all!

Tri-Repro 2027 has been amazing! 270 attendees from across the US (and UK!), supported by our co-host institutions, Penn, Pittsburgh, and Rutgers. Congrats to the Trainee Committee for an outstanding program, and thanks to our 5th Stuart Moss Memorial Lecturer, @schindlerlab.bsky.social!

Lab’s 1st preprint! Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate. @cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation. He is on the job market!

I’m thrilled to share my postdoc work and the first paper from the McKinley Lab! 🎉 @karalmckinley.bsky.social We built the first transgenic model of menstruation in mice. We used it to uncover how the endometrium organizes and sheds during menstruation. 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵

The results from this analysis into prevalence and impact of PCOS in China, show infertility attributable to PCOS as increasing as a faster rate than the global burden of the disease; making PCOS a major public health problem and a public health priority that needs attention doi.org/10.1016/j.rb...

Delighted to see a @cornellrepro.bsky.social alumna, Dr. Jordana Bloom, back at Cornell talking about her postdoctoral work on menopause.

So excited to have Masahito Ikawa as our Fourth Annual Stuart Moss Memorial Lecturer at Tri-Repro

Tri-Repro is underway at U Penn, with a fantastic first seminar by CoRe trainee, Jonathan Thomalla @wolfnerlab.bsky.social

Happy new year to all! I am delighted to say that our new preprint went on @biorxiv-genetic.bsky.social today! The work was a labor of love for Mercedes Carro from my lab and Alexis Dzuibek from Andrew Grimson's lab - congrats to all! #meiosis #meiosis4eva #RNA biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Argonaute proteins regulate the timing of the spermatogenic transcriptional program

Argonaute proteins are best known for their role in microRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Here, we show that AGO3 and AGO4, but not AGO2, localize to the sex chromatin of pachytene sp...

Hi Bluesky. For my first post, I'd like to advertise the latest preprint from my lab, describing at long last our reconstitution of SPO11-dependent double-strand break formation from purified recombinant proteins. Outstanding work from PhD student Zhi (Zack) Zheng.
