1st McKinley Lab grad student’s 1st preprint! @claireang.bsky.social studied how the uterus safely excises massive amounts of tissue during menstruation and pregnancy. Come for her GORGEOUS images, stay for her incredible discoveries. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... w/ @akelleher1017.bsky.social

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...

🚨New paper out in Cell Reports ‼️ www.cell.com/cell-reports... Why do fetal Sertoli cells store glycogen 🍬 during testis development? It turns out they are feeding germ cells. We discovered a previously unrecognized metabolic coupling between Sertoli cells and germ cells in the fetal testis 🧵

Glycogen and lactate metabolism in mouse fetal Sertoli cells sustain the germ line

Estermann and Sheheen et al. identified a metabolic coupling between fetal Sertoli and germ cells in mice, driven by glycogen breakdown and lactate transport through the MCT4/MCT1 shuttle. This intera...

Honored to receive the 2026 R.R. Bensley Award in Cell Biology from the @anatomyorg.bsky.social 🏆 Excited to keep exploring how metabolism, genetics, and epigenetics shape gonadal development and cell differentiation 🧬Grateful to my mentors, collaborators, and lab mates who made this possible.

👋 Welcome to the official BlueSky account of the #VSD scientific community ! This account was created to 👇 -share official announcements -highlight scientific content & speakers during the #VSD2026 meeting - support live discussions and help our community stay connected 1/3👇

For this festive season, I’m sending friends and family something a little different: postcards straight from the microscope. 🔬 Featuring my hiPSC Christmas tree from last year and a hiPSC colony turned into a festive bauble, with wishes for a season that’s festive at every scale. 🎄

Are you going to SICB in Jan2026? I can't but I'll be there in spirit with these plates I am donating for the Division of Invertebrate Zoology Libbie Hyman Auction. Show up and support student travel funds by bidding for them! Featuring #membracids #acoels #cnidarians #rotifers @sicb.bsky.social

🎄 Day 1 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬 This study shows how different fixation methods (PFA vs. TCA) change what researchers can visualize in chicken embryos using HCR or IHC. 🔍🐣🔬 doi.org/10.1016/j.yd...

🎄✨ Introducing 24 Days of Development! Each day we’ll highlight one of 2025’s most influential papers published in Developmental Biology, the official journal of the Society for Developmental Biology. Follow along! 🧬❄️🌟 #DevBio

I can’t believe it’s already been a year! 🎉 Grateful to share this initiative with such an amazing group of Latinx scientists in developmental biology 🙌 More to come! ✨
