Engineering an ovary bioprosthesis
Patients with gonadotoxicity due to disease treatment, or who face primary gonadal insufficiency as a result of genetic causes, have limited options for long-term endocrine and fertility support. Current fertility options, such as egg or embryo banking, exclude women with hormone-responsive cancers and pre-pubertal children. This highlights the urgency of addressing this currently unmet need with innovative engineering solutions. Our objective is to create an ovary bioprosthes...

Single cell transcriptomics in endocrine system physiology: example from the pancreas
The specialized endocrine cell types of pancreatic islets of Langerhans are essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis. Bulk approaches to characterize islets in normal and diabetic conditions are challenging, as both cell-type specific gene expression changes, changes in the composition of islets, and changes in cell types including de- and trans-differentiation can contribute. Furthermore, technologies to isolate specific cell types from human islets are often lacking, an...
