Aberrations in stromal signaling, muscle contractility and epithelial architecture underlie poor embryo-implantation outcomes after murine ovarian stimulation

This study shows that ovarian stimulation disrupts uterine structure and function in mice, leading to poor embryo implantation, and identifies PDGFRA signaling as a key factor.

Accumulation of Dietary and Non-Enzymatic Oxysterols in Preeclamptic Placentas: Insights into Cholesterol Dynamics in Pregnancy Complications

This study finds higher oxysterol levels in preeclamptic placentas compared to healthy pregnancies, suggesting altered cholesterol dynamics and oxidative stress in preeclampsia.

Human-Mouse Chimeric Brain Models to Study Human Glial-Neuronal and Macroglial-Microglial Interactions

This study uses human-mouse chimeric brain models to investigate glial-neuronal and macroglial-microglial interactions, revealing key molecular mechanisms and dynamic cellular behaviors.

Imaging the dynamics of uterine contractions in early pregnancy

This paper introduces an imaging method to study uterine muscle contractility in different stages of the cycle and early pregnancy, revealing dynamic changes and correlations with embryo movement.

Human glial progenitor cells effectively remyelinate the demyelinated adult brain

This study shows human glial progenitor cells can remyelinate both congenitally and acutely demyelinated adult CNS regions, extending lifespan and restoring function in mouse models.
