  1. Tại tuổi dậy thì, bé trai thường cao nhanh, giọng trầm và cơ bắp phát triển. Tuy nhiên, suy sinh dục do suy tuyến yên khiến cơ thể nam “đóng băng” ở giai đoạn niên thiếu; quá trình dậy thì có thể không diễn ra. Cần can thiệp hormone để kích hoạt dậy thì, phát triển chiều cao và cơ bắp. Phát hiện sớm giúp điều trị hiệu quả hơn.

  2. Got it together to write an update! Got sick, took a few months to recover, so it's been a while. Coming out of a quasi-stupor, to be completely honest. A long, dark tunnel. Lately, it's like something has snapped back into place inside me. It's like my brain and body are in the process of going back online - how far this recovery goes, nobody knows. For now, I'll leave you with this "quarterly report." 🥰

  3. Our new preprint is now out!

    Dynamic transcriptional heterogeneity in pituitary corticotrophs

    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    We analysed publicly available single-cell RNA sequencing data of pituitary gland tissue and looked at corticotrophs, cells that are central to mediate stress responses.

    We identified several transcriptional states in these cells that are related to how they respond to stress. Cells are able to transition between these states and this might be helpful for them to respond to stress coming at unpredictable times.

    We also highlight issues related to using scRNAseq to look at functional subpopulations of cells.
