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...

Check out this new Roadmap, a fantastic team effort by a consortium of ER researchers. Glad we could provide the space for this synthesis, which came out of discussions at a fruitful meeting, see below:
ER exit sites are dynamic ER subdomains that integrate signals, reshape membranes and steer secretion. Twelve groups in the field came together to map their diversity, regulation, unanswered questions and future directions.

Towards a unified framework for the function of endoplasmic reticulum exit sites - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES) are specialized ER subdomains that regulate the export of secreted cargo. This Roadmap explores how ERES integrate biochemical and mechanical signals to coordinate trafficking and proposes a multidisciplinary strategy to investigate their function, including in disease.

A good rule of thumb when it comes to deciding a title for your Review/Research article is the Harry Potter test as I like to call it.
Does your title fit into the scheme of "Harry Potter and..."? Then you know it's not a good scientific title.
