What if the uterus has a molecular clock to measure pregnancy length? Drs. Tara McIntyre and Adrian Erlebacher discuss their gene-regulation ‘timer’ discovery in mice with Alessandra Veinbachs. Click the links below to learn how this mechanism could reshape our understanding of gestational timing.
Blue background with floating blue and pink cells. ImmunoX logo centered at the bottom. A navy box below reads: ‘Science is for everyone. Breaking Down Biology Blog.’Schematic showing a molecular mechanism in the uterus of a mouse: To test the role of KDM6B (and gene regulation more generally) in determining labor timing, the researchers created mice that lacked the histone demethylase KDM6B in cells of the uterus called uterine fibroblasts. They found that, compared to control mice, those lacking KDM6B had a delayed drop in P4 and gave birth several days later. This suggested that without KDM6B, the uterus was unable to activate the gene program required to initiate labor at the proper time.
