Congrats to Margaret Brunette, Ph.D., and all co-authors on this exciting work demonstrating restoration of ovarian endocrine function using immune-isolated ovarian tissue. #BME #ovaries #oncofertility #gofollicles

For thousands of young cancer survivors, life after remission can bring a new set of challenges. U-M BME researchers are making strides toward improving quality of life for pediatric cancer survivors by taking inspiration from nature. Read more: bme.umich.edu/2026/01/01/new…

The Shikanov Lab is sharing new advances in ovarian tissue engineering and regenerative biomaterials at #TERMIS2025! Proud of our team for their presentations pushing the boundaries of women’s health and tissue engineering 🌟 #WomensHealth #RegenerativeMedicine #GoFollicle

Shikanov lab @UMBME is excited to share "Dynamics of YAP localization and transcript activity in human oocytes and granulosa cells across early‑stage folliculogenesis" rdcu.be/eIm3m and funded by @czi and @NICHD_NIH #ovary #gofollicles #oncofertility

Cheers to another semester full of discovery, learning, and fun🔬🌟 #GoFollicles #GoBlue #BackToSchool
