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’m thrilled to share my postdoc work and the first paper from the McKinley Lab! 🎉
@karalmckinley.bsky.social
We built the first transgenic model of menstruation in mice.
We used it to uncover how the endometrium organizes and sheds during menstruation. 🧪

Multivalent interactions with CCR4–NOT and PABPC1 determine mRNA repression efficiency by tristetraprolin - Nature Communications Deadenylation leads to mRNA decay, with PABPC1 protecting the poly(A) tail, while tristetraprolin and CCR4–NOT promote deadenylation. Here, the authors describe how these three proteins interact to re...

Delighted to present our second paper of the year. This one explores the molecular mechanism of TTP, a key post-transcriptional regulator of AU-rich mRNAs. Work led and coordinated by @filippekovic.bsky.social, in collaboration with Perry Blackshear.

Hey #TeamTomo,
Ever been in need of a tutorial about the fundamentals of cryo-electron tomography? From preprocessing raw frames to high-res subtomogram averaging?
That's why @florentwaltz.bsky.social and I made this website!

Check out this fun preview of my postdoctoral work! It highlights our findings plus lots of intriguing questions that I’m super excited to tackle in the coming years. (And the model is beautiful! Thank you! 🧑‍🎨 )

Happy to see this work published in RNA, and thanks to the editors for the interview/Meet the First Author Feature! Surprisingly, we found that mutating an RNA binding protein's ability to bind RNA did not remove all biological function. #RNAsky #RNAbiology.

An RNA condensate model for the origin of life The RNA World hypothesis predicts that self-replicating RNAs evolved before DNA genomes and coded proteins. Despite widespread support for the RNA Wor…

An interesting perspective and framework: #RNA condensates-not individual RNAs-may have acted as replicative units in early life. RNAs in condensate recruit similar RNAs, then the condensate divides once it reaches a critical size.

DGCR8 haploinsufficiency leads to primate-specific RNA dysregulation and pluripotency defects Abstract. The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22qDS) is a human disorder where the majority of clinical manifestations originate during embryonic development. 2

Our latest paper is out in NAR! 🥳
In collaboration with @saramaciasrna.bsky.social, we show DGCR8 haploinsufficiency disrupts pluripotency in hESC by affecting primate-specific miRNAs and TEs. Our findings highlight a co-evolved miRNA-TE network in primates.
