Biology isn't "mushy." 💡 Dr. Jim Ferrell explains why cell signaling acts like a wall switch: you're either OFF or ON, with no stopping in the middle. Here is how nature arranges "mushy" molecules into digital decisions. 🧬

How does the uterus regenerate itself?
Dr. Diana Monsivais's lab has identified a critical stem cell niche essential for endometrial repair. This discovery, guided by TGF beta signaling, is a huge step toward non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis and heavy menstrual bleeding.
