We acknowledge the many non-Aboriginal people who support us and are also hurting with the referendum result.
Thank you for your solidarity 💪🏽
This graphic is mob and ally friendly.

Finally out! This paper has had a very long gestation and a team of amazing contributors 👏🏻
We discovered using mouse models that IL11 activates the placental inflammasone in preeclampsia.

Proud to announce the new open call for manuscripts launched by @MHR_ReprodSci under the auspices of @ESHRE, for those interested in the cyclical functions of the female reproductive tract. Special thanks to the organizers @carsonsarahj @JackieMaybin @ellemela @DrJaneGirling
Super excited to see all the amazing female reproductive tract research that will be submitted to our brand new special edition: ‘Cyclic processes in the uterine tubes, endometrium, myometrium, and cervix: pathways and perturbations’ academic.oup.com/molehr/arti…
Excited to be a part of this special edition!

Brilliant work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 honoured to play a tiny part in this amazing study
So proud of this important work by @meaghan_griff out now @JCI_insight revealing how cancer therapy inflicts uterine damage & contributes to survivor’s subfertility doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.…

Published today @JCI_insight! @meaghan_griff PhD work showing the first comprehensive mechanistic evidence of how cancer therapy damages the uterus & impair survivors’ fertility, even after transfer of healthy unexposed blastocysts @amy_winship @KarlaHutt doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.…
Good things come to those who wait!
Now to discover why/how decidualization restricts miR release
Stoked to share a new publication which has had a very long gestation: 'Endometrial stromal cell miR-19b-3p release is reduced during decidualization implying a role in decidual-trophoblast cross-talk'

Amazing discovery!
Basic science for the win 👏🏻👏🏻

The syncytiotrophoblast covers the placental villus; when stressed, the syncytiotrophoblast releases pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, extracellular vesicles and anti-angiogenic agents into the maternal circulation.
