1st McKinley Lab grad student’s 1st preprint!
@claireang.bsky.social studied how the uterus safely excises massive amounts of tissue during menstruation and pregnancy.

Come for her GORGEOUS images, stay for her incredible discoveries.

Excited to share my new preprint from the McKinley lab, where we explored regenerative mechanisms across menstruation and pregnancy! We thought specialized glands would regenerate everything.

We were wrong.

But the real mechanism turned out to be way cooler :) 🧪🧵

The Lung GRS was breathtaking in more ways that one 🤩 and the GRC opening talks were incredible! Very much looking forward to the next week 😎

Macrophage-derived oncostatin M repairs the lung epithelial barrier during inflammatory damage Tissue repair programs must function alongside antiviral immunity to restore the lung epithelial barrier following infection. We found that macrophage-derived oncostatin M (OSM) counteracted the patho...

🎉 Over the moon to share the first paper from my lab!! We discovered an unexpected role for the cytokine OSM in lung epithelial homeostasis and repair. 🧵 1/n www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I’m so proud to have been able to contribute to this story! Check it out for a cool tale about tissue repair under inflammatory conditions! Congrats @daisyah.bsky.social and @ruthfranklinlab.bsky.social on putting out the lab’s first paper 🫁🐁🦠

Here Is All the Science at Risk in Trump’s Clash With Harvard (Gift Article) More than 900 research grants worth $2.6 billion are in jeopardy. So is the 80-year-old model of American science.

"The money the government sends to Harvard is, in effect, not a subsidy to advance the university’s mission. It’s a payment for the role Harvard plays in advancing the research mission of the United States." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

First post on here will be me mysteriously celebrating the last experiment before the holiday break being a wild success. Trust that y’all will see eventually… 👀
