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...

I love this absolutely volcanic menstruation cover.
Browse a Focus issue from Nature Human Behaviour on menstruation. Authors discuss periods from a multidisciplinary perspective, including addressing menstrual myths, period poverty, and menstrual health management for diverse populations. https://go.nature.com/4iCnUOw 🧪

Still learning how to use algorithm-less Bluesky effectively. My attempt: I used the female repro bio starter packs to make a list.
If you click "pin to home" it will create a feed in your sidebar that shows posts from people on the list.
Hope it is useful! 🧪

CAD cells getting weird. This is a SoRa spinning disk confocal image, with many fields tiled together. You can keep zooming in for additional detail. Green = microtubules, white = F-actin, pink = DAPI.

We don’t study dividing cells, but I can respect what they’re trying to do. And always nice watching stress fibers blow up 💥🙏

Just a piece of cortex I saw under the microscope today 🤓🔬
Cell types: neurons 🔵, astrocytes 🟡, microglia 🟣. Observe how astrocytes are covering two long blood vessels, crossing all the gray matter and almost reaching white matter. The brain is so pretty!

Hi everyone! Kicking off my first #FluorescenceFriday here with a 3D SIM image of actin, and of course had to go with my favorite blue LUT (JDM Duo Intense Cyan) for Bluesky.
