We express our deepest condolences on the passing of Antonio García-Bellido, considered the father of the Spanish school of Developmental Biology and an influential figure in this discipline worldwide. For the #SEBD, his passing represents the loss of its founder and first president. Rest in peace.

Was truly a must to have @neilshubin.bsky.social visiting for a month as a guest Prof. @college-de-france.fr, spending time with colleagues, with lab members 👍 and delivering a superb series of 4 talks (see below)🙏. This is what science is about. I’ll miss the morning coffees ☕️🤘

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.

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. 🧪

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...
