Augmentation of progestin signaling promotes testis development and spermatogenesis independent from andorgen signaling in zebrafish.

Binding of progesterone receptor and transcription factor PAX2 to pre-assembled permissive chromatin compartments regulates endometrial cancer gene expression under estrogenic conditions.

While acute senescence of decidualizing cells drives the inflammatory response underpinning uterine receptivity, subsequent clearance by activated natural killer cells transiently rejuvenates the cycling endometrium, enabling transition into a gestational tissue upon embryo implantation.

Two receptors have been identified that can be targeted in melanocytes with selective small molecule agonists to modulate human skin color.

The study of embryo-endometrial interactions in assembloid co-cultures identifies novel mechanisms of reproductive failure.

Progesterone mediates nongenomic signaling in Xenopus oocyte meiosis by activating a PLA2 activity that requires two membrane receptors ABDH2 and mPRß.

Comparative studies of gene expression in the uterus during pregnancy identifies new genes important for pregnancy and associated with complications such as preterm birth.

Post-menopausal women with atherosclerosis need to take the correct timing for hormone replacement therapy.

In the brain of medaka fish, neuropeptide B acts directly downstream of estrogen in a female-specific but reversible manner to mediate female receptivity to male courtship.
