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...

Development matters: V2a neurons derived from distinct progenitor lineages show lasting molecular & functional differences despite identical culture conditions

Distinct differentiation trajectories leave lasting impacts on gene regulation and function of V2a interneurons
During development, early regionalization segregates lineages and directs diverse cell fates. Sometimes, however, distinct progenitors produce analogous cell types. For example, V2a neurons, are excit...

Happy to share our mouse cortical organoid system, which recapitulates in vivo tempos and cell types. We used it to identify gene expression changes across subspecies during development, which might underlie neuroanatomical differences and affect disease penetrance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A MOUSE ORGANOID PLATFORM FOR MODELING CEREBRAL CORTEX DEVELOPMENT AND CIS-REGULATORY EVOLUTION IN VITRO
Natural selection has shaped the gene regulatory networks that orchestrate the development of the neocortex, leading to diverse neocortical structure and function across mammals, but the molecular and...
