Olfactomedin 4 marks luminal progenitor cells that give rise to a secretory cell lineage in the mouse cervix

The paper identifies Olfm4 as a marker for luminal progenitor cells in the mouse cervix that give rise to secretory goblet cells, revealing a species similarity with humans.

ECHOS enables spatial epigenome profiling at subcellular resolution

ECHOS enables spatial epigenome profiling at subcellular resolution by combining high-resolution imaging and high-throughput sequencing, revealing distinct gene regulatory logics and epigenetic changes in human tissues.

Regulation of Female Reproductive Aging by the Spag17 Gene

This study identifies Spag17 as a key modulator of female reproductive aging, showing its role in maintaining fertility and preventing age-related complications.

Lysyl Oxidases are Necessary for Myometrial Contractility and On-Time Parturition in Mice

This study shows that lysyl oxidases are essential for myometrial contractility and timely birth in mice by maintaining ECM integrity.
