Great overview of Antonia's recent publication on uterine ILC3s. Great to see this out!
👩🏾🔬 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!
