We're very excited about this work! Using steroid metabolome profiling we found a unique hormone signature that could be used as a potential non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis. Please check out and share the preprint #endometriosis www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
Steroid Metabolome Profiling Identifies a Unique Androgen Hormone Signature Associated with Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent condition that affects 190 million women worldwide. There are no validated biomarkers for endometriosis and this delays diagnosis and treatment. We perfo...

To wrap up #EndometriosisActionMonth, we wanted to share our visit to ScotParl last week. Ann & Priscilla represented ENDO1000 as honored guests of Endometriosis UK.
Speakers were optimistic that Scotland could siginficantly reduce diagnosis time by 2030 - down to under a year 🤞

A great week in Charlotte at #SRI2025 full of amazing science and great discussions. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the programme we put together for the endometrial satellite meeting. Special thanks to our speakers and moderators!

👩🏾‍🔬 Lab alumna Antonia Cuff wondered about the role of #ILC3 in the uterine mucosa.

🧪 ILC3 are most numerous & active at times of repair & regeneration

🧪 They with epithelial and endothelial cells

🧪 But do this less in ppl with #endometriosis

On the train to Newcastle this morning before changing to get to Oxford for a viva. The views down the east coast did not disappoint. Let's hope the cross-country service doesn't either!

Gave some advice yesterday on how to respond to #reviewers to #proposals and was encouraging people to contact mentors with experience of the specific call to sense check responses. But aware not everyone has this pool to hand, so a few of the headlines from conversation. Please chip in.

"there’s been a complete reframing of this disorder as a neuroinflammatory whole-body condition" - CRH's Philippa Saunders spoke to Scientific American about changing understanding of #endometriosis away from it being purely gynaecological www.scientificamerican.com/article/pain...
Painful Endometriosis Can Affect the Whole Body, Not Only the Pelvis
This disease is now genetically linked to widespread inflammation, asthma, migraines, and more
