“To create better options, scientists still need to understand how a normal period works. Making an organoid menstruate in a dish would be a huge boon for achieving this goal, so that’s what some researchers are trying to do.”

Such an interesting experience taking part in this year's FameLab competition in Basel! ☺️ Presenting your research in 3 min is definitely not an easy task but I love any opportunity for science communication 😜

Go girls! 💪💪 Let's all try to support their effort!
Please support us this Sunday as we run the Cambridge 1/2 Marathon for @teamaruk !
Please donate below👇

Only a few pounds can go a long way.... like buying one of these tubes or paying the PhD student holding them yearly stipend !
Our lab is now recruiting a research assistant. 📢 If you are interested in contributing to our research of the human uterus and placenta please send your application. You can find all the details below. 🧫🧬
📢The Turco lab is recruiting a research technician! The team uses a wide range of tools—including #organoids, #imaging, #CRISPR gene editing and #genomic technologies—to investigate how the human placenta develops and interacts with the uterus. Apply at:

Go girls 💪
Happy #WomenInScience Day! We're proud of our women scientists, who make the FMI such an outstanding place! Today is a time to celebrate the vital contributions of #WomenInSTEM and recognize the systemic barriers that prevent full and equal access to science for women and girls👩🏽🔬

I am so excited and proud to see our work on the cellular characterization of the human endometrial tissue and organoids published in @NatureGenet 🥳😀
Out in @NatureGenet: @KonsNikol & colleagues in the Turco lab + collaborators @sangerinstitute generated the most detailed yet cellular map of the human uterus and of uterine #organoids. The work could provide new insights into women's reproductive health. fmi.ch/news-events/articles/…

Congratulations to Tereza Cindova-Davies et all as their paper "Menstrual flow as a non-invasive source of endometrial organoids" is out today in Communications Biology nature.com/articles/s42003-0… 👏👏
The numerous applications of endometrial organoids!! They can be used to study the physiology of healthy endometrium, model disorders, create multicellular and multiorgan systems, model the maternal-fetal interaction during pregnancy with many other translational applications!

The best explanation of a paper ever seen!👏👏👏👏
In this new video, watch Tony Kouzarides as he gives you the lowdown on this week's Nature paper! Don't miss the special Director's cut...

To an amazing woman and an amazing scientist whose work contributed greatly to the establishment of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) 🧪👶independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…
Our review is published @ReprodJournal 🥳👏 Organoids are a powerful tool to study the human endometrium in health and disease and help address infertility. So many interesting questions are waiting to be answered! @CamPathology @CTR_Cambridge

📢So excited to announce our popular Placental Biology Course is back! Check the content and speakers out on our website trophoblast.cam.ac.uk/placen… and clear your diaries - registration is now open 👏👏👏
I am so happy and proud to see our immunofluorescence image on the @cddpress cover! 🥳Our image features markers of proliferation and differentiation expressed in human endometrial tissue and endometrial organoids. 🔬
We did it @lo0ma Margherita Turco 👏

Amazing collaborative work with Turco lab @CamPathology @teichlab @bayraktar_lab led by amazing scientists @LuzGarAl @krobertssci @NikolKons & Louis-F Hanfield
I am so glad having been part of this amazing, enormous, collaborative work!! 🔥 Check out our preprint on single cell and spatial technologies to explore the human uterus in vivo and in vitro!! 2021 starts off great! 🥳
Check out our last preprint- We use single-cell & spatial technologies to map the human uterus and inform organoids experiments
