Excited to share that the bulk of my graduate work is now online as a pre-print: Obesogenic diet alters decidual differentiation and cell-cell communication in the mouse uterus 🧵

Using bulk & available single-cell data we compared EVT across the first trimester. Our results suggest that autosomal expression patterns in male & female EVT-lineage cells diverge after week 10 of pregnancy, likely following the erosion of spiral artery plugs.

The placenta is essential to a fetus’ development, but little is known about how it develops and interacts with the uterus. Dr. Alexander Beristain is using an artificial model of the placenta to better understand its role in pregnancy. More: https://t.co/LzUtZVpRIM
