We're very excited about this work! Using steroid metabolome profiling we found a unique hormone signature that could be used as a potential non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis. Please check out and share the preprint #endometriosis medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Feels like it’s been a while between papers.. but our latest is now out! Here we used the side-population technique to isolate term trophoblast stem cells, showing that in FGR they grow slower, die more easily, and have impaired differentiation. doi.org/10.1016/j.yexc…

Loke CTR members Sung Gong, Gordon Smith and Steve Charnock-Jones, and collaborators have shown that raised Leptin and Pappalysin2 cell-free RNAs are hallmarks of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia with fetal growth restriction. 📖 Read more: trophoblast.cam.ac.uk/news/sequencin…

In a new Science study, researchers report a powerful tool to design small, folded protein domains that interact tightly with intrinsically disordered protein regions. The authors suggest potential applications in cellular imaging, in vitro peptide capture, and modulating cell

#FlashbackFriday These 2017 authors found that during the perinatal period, #estrogen can cause “sexual differentiation of the male brain, and specifically the stress circuitry in the hypothalamus.” Read the results of this research study: bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Cool new paper from the Ozanne lab showing maternal iron homeostasis, not placental dysfunction, is associated with fetal hypoxia at e13.5 in obese mouse pregnancy physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

In this Opinion, we propose that pregnancy health depends on maternal–fetal immune homeostasis—and that complications like preterm birth and pre-eclampsia arise when this balance breaks. #NGLlab #CRepHS WashU Medicine OBGYN WashU Medicine Pathology & Immunology
