📣First preprint of the lab📣 Did that really happen?😅 Enteric neurons, aka somatic postmitotic cells, must hold on to their sex identity tight, to deliver a tuned response to signals from the ovary that instruct the animal to engage sex-matched behavioural programmes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Genetic sex of enteric neurons enables ovarian relaxin to gate maternal gut plasticity

Animals must align intestinal plasticity and feeding with reproductive state, yet the checkpoint that gates these adaptations is unknown. Here we show that an ovary-to-enteric-neuron axis gates the on...

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... 🧵

Induction of menstruation in mice reveals the regulation of menstrual shedding

During menstruation, an inner layer of the endometrium is selectively shed, while an outer, progenitor-containing layer is preserved to support repeated regeneration. Progress in understanding this co...

#ProudPI 🎓 Thrilled to share that @ameliejoly.bsky.social received the thesis prize of the @sneuroendo.bsky.social, huge congratulations! 👏 And @lucasrebiffe.bsky.social is presenting the follow-up of the project in a great poster. Exciting to see the team’s work shining! 💪 #SNE25

Congratulations to first authors @ameliejoly.bsky.social and @lucasrebiffe.bsky.social for taking this project forward. A big thanks to @frm-officiel.bsky.social and @agencerecherche.bsky.social for funding this work, and @igflyon.bsky.social for making the right environment for the research.

In normally growing juveniles, semaglutide improves glucose control without affecting growth. But in stunted mice, it further impairs linear growth, revealing a key interplay between energy metabolism and the somatotropic axis during development. Mechanistic, not clinical!

Delighted to share that our work has just been accepted in the Journal of the Endocrine Society 🤩 Ever wondered if semaglutide can interfere with growth? Check it out! 👇👇

Filipe De Vadder@filipedevadder.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Our new study, just accepted in the Journal of the Endocrine Society 👉 doi.org/10.1210/jend... We found that semaglutide, beyond its metabolic effects, can exacerbate growth stunting in juvenile mice by reducing energy metabolism, a context-dependent effect of GLP-1 signaling.

Impressive talks from our ECRs for a symposium that they organized at our annual conference #SNE2025 🤩😍. Many thanks @jne-editor.bsky.social!
