Do YOU live with joint pain? Do YOU experience poor pain management? Have you got 2-minutes to tell pain researchers about it? If yes 👉 forms.gle/7NTwma2gnVN1... We hope to gain insight into lived experience for those with joint pain & involve people in our #PainResearch 😃

I can only second this. BUT, what people often are not aware of: Frontiers in Zoology does NOT belong to the rest of the Frontiers in journals. It is the official journal of the German Zoological Society, a BMC journal and founded BEFORE the other Front in. We suffer a lot from this hijacking.

My lab is hiring a postdoc (ERC funded)! If you're interested, get in touch!

So stoked to cover this work led by @cagricevrim.bsky.social from @karalmckinley.bsky.social ‘s group! It’s always such a thrill to see how researchers continue to push the boundaries of their field and develop new tools. Read about it below! 🧪

Incredible new work from the McKinley Lab @karalmckinley.bsky.social describing menstruating mice and stem cell renewal in the uterus! Congrats to an amazing team 🐭🧬🔬

First neurons didn’t appear overnight. We trace their roots to ancient secretory cells - showing how lifestyle & behavior shaped the evolution of first synapses.🧠🌊 #Evolution #Neuroscience Our latest in @natrevneuro.nature.com Link: rdcu.be/eMX3E @jeffcolgren.bsky.social @msarscentre.bsky.social

Genetically controlled induction of menstruation in the mouse is a game changer for both basic and applied research in endometrium and it's disorders. A really amazing model and a great resource Kudos @cagricevrim.bsky.social and team for this. Very excited www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

For over 20 years, the mouse model organism has helped scientists uncover the biology behind human health and disease. But the mouse reference genomes still have missing pieces. The first collection of telomere-to-telomere mouse genomes are now available for two key mouse strains. 🧬💻

Lab mice can now have periods like humans Studies of rodents with a menstrual on/off switch could help people with endometriosis and other disorders www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social @karalmckinley.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

How does life evolve to adapt to modern cities? Out now in Science, my PhD work with @lindymcbr.bsky.social uncovers the ancient origin of the “London Underground mosquito” – one of the most iconic examples of urban adaptation. 🧵(1/n) @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ady4515

How can we see the cells that make up a living organism? Membrane-localising tags can drive fluorescent proteins to the cell's outer membrane, making their outlines visible. But the tags don't work well in all organisms. How do you find one for your species of interest? 🧵 Check our latest preprint

🔬 Limb regeneration depends on regenerative signaling center cells — but how do these cells influence others to proliferate, migrate, or differentiate? We’re recruiting PhD or Postdoc candidates to explore this with our collaborator @osvaldo-chara.bsky.social !

Pre-print alert 🚨 We answer a longstanding question in the field. Do immune cells cause cerebral malaria? The answer is YES!!!! And independently of P. falciparum accumulation in the brain. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

I’m excited to announce the launch of my lab at EPFL in Jan 2026 🎉. We’ll combine evolution & synthetic biology to study and (re)engineer bacterial communication.

Today @anthropic.com released PubMed integration for Claude. No hallucinations. Just real science, real data. As a beta tester, this has been game changing— a supercharged research tool. Here are 6 prompts that will transform how you search the literature. A 🧵 www.anthropic.com/news/claude-...

Thrilled to see our preprint featured in Science News! 🩸 Big thanks to Holly Barker for writing such a thoughtful piece about our work. So exciting to see broader attention to menstruation research and new model systems! www.science.org/content/arti...

We are hiring!

Whoa, this is big…

This is an amazing story and important breakthrough! Awesome stuff from @karalmckinley.bsky.social and @cagricevrim.bsky.social

Exciting collaborative post doc opportunity to study lung disease mechanisms working with 2 friendly labs @jennydickens41.bsky.social @labrawlins.bsky.social and GSK colleagues www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/52936/

The kind of surprise that keeps me on social media. Another preprint to check out.

Amazing work - and this will open so many doors for women health care. It's insane how little we know about female physiology. Congratulations @cagricevrim.bsky.social and the team on this incredible endeavor! 👏🏽🎉 #womenhealth 💪🏽

Wowed!

Menstruation- a natural regenerative process in women, yet understudied and under discussed. But, this phenomenal work is a start for making all the difference 🎉

This is a really interesting study with an incredibly creative approach, applying chemical-genetic tools usually used for neuroscience research towards understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying menstruation.

An epic story and a must read. This is really beautiful work to understand the most amazing monthly regeneration event - menstruation. The authors reconstitute this process in mice (which don’t normally menstruate) allowing important new insights. Will also be a powerful model for future work.

Amazing! Hard to believe this didn't exist until now.

OMG 😱 a true game changer for biology! Menstruation is a natural miracle of tissue regeneration. Amazing biology to come!

This is probably one of the coolest and most creative mouse models I’ve ever seen!

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. 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵
