We're very excited about this work! Using steroid metabolome profiling we found a unique hormone signature that could be used as a potential non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis. Please check out and share the preprint #endometriosis www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

To wrap up #EndometriosisActionMonth, we wanted to share our visit to ScotParl last week. Ann & Priscilla represented ENDO1000 as honored guests of Endometriosis UK. Speakers were optimistic that Scotland could siginficantly reduce diagnosis time by 2030 - down to under a year 🤞

A group of women stand in Scottish Parliament, in front of a banner and holding a board in yellow and red with the words "I'm supporting ENDOMETRIOSIS ACTION MONTH, Endometriosis UK". They are smiling at the camera.

A group of approximately 25 people are standing and chatting in a Scottish Parliament room. The room has a large table with lots of microphones on it.

A great week in Charlotte at #SRI2025 full of amazing science and great discussions. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the programme we put together for the endometrial satellite meeting. Special thanks to our speakers and moderators!

👩🏾‍🔬 Lab alumna Antonia Cuff wondered about the role of #ILC3 in the uterine mucosa. 🧪 ILC3 are most numerous & active at times of repair & regeneration 🧪 They with epithelial and endothelial cells 🧪 But do this less in ppl with #endometriosis 👀 Early access, out today! #ImmunoSky #ReproSky

On the train to Newcastle this morning before changing to get to Oxford for a viva. The views down the east coast did not disappoint. Let's hope the cross-country service doesn't either!

Gave some advice yesterday on how to respond to #reviewers to #proposals and was encouraging people to contact mentors with experience of the specific call to sense check responses. But aware not everyone has this pool to hand, so a few of the headlines from conversation. Please chip in.
