Excited to share my new preprint from the McKinley lab, where we explored regenerative mechanisms across menstruation and pregnancy! We thought specialized glands would regenerate everything. We were wrong. But the real mechanism turned out to be way cooler :) 🧪🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Here's some background on our latest paper on morphogen patterning of human neural organoids!

‪Happy to contribute to the Research Briefing featuring our latest study of human neural organoid patterning using morphogens. @fatimasnc.bsky.social TreutleinLab & @graycamplab.bsky.social @bsse.ethz.ch & IHB

Your new batch of cortical organoids resulted in mixed regional identities closer to hindbrain. Why is patterning so hard?😩 ✨Our latest paper might help you✨ tinyurl.com/neorgpat #morphogen #neuralorganoids #patterning #scRNAseq @graycamplab.bsky.social @ethz.ch @nazbukina.bsky.social

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...
