Inflammation May Contribute to Female Infertility

Inflammation in the female reproductive tract may make it difficult to conceive a child, but replenishing a key hormone could keep inflammation in check, according to researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine.

Educating the Future of Healthcare at Mizzou Mini Med School

The University of Missouri School of Medicine recently welcomed current Missouri high school juniors to campus for its annual Mini Medical School. For more than 25 years, students from across the state interested in learning more about healthcare participate in a week-long session led by School of Medicine faculty, staff and medical students.

Researchers Tackle Heart Disease, Obesity in Veterans

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, with obesity strongly associated with its development. Veterans tend to have both diseases at a higher rate than non-veterans. NextGen researchers received nearly $1.2 million through the Department of Veteran Affairs to investigate if a specific medication can help.

New Study Finds Inflammation Could Play a Role in Early Pregnancy Loss

Joy Winuthayanon was a midwife "in a previous life." “I've always been interested in looking at pregnancy and how to care for one, so I went and did a PhD,” Winuthayanon said. “So, in our lab, that's why we're trying to focus on, looking at, maybe identifying potential causes that are unknown for infertility in women.”

MU Researchers Uncover New Information About How Uterine Diseases Develop

A study recently published by University of Missouri researchers has uncovered new information about how the uterus develops. The study, published earlier this year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined how abnormal cells can develop and lead to diseases like uterine cancer.

Dr. Kathryn Moss is evaluated in the Clinical and Translational Science Unit at NextGen.

Both Scientist and Research Subject

A rare disease researcher at Mizzou stepped out of the lab and into the role of a clinical trial participant, an experience that gave her a fresh perspective on the process and a deeper appreciation for the human side of science.

A Strong Defense

Researchers boost the body’s natural resistance to DNA damage — and may improve reproductive health in the process. A team led by Ahmed Balboula discovered that in female eggs, autophagy is less efficient when there is already moderate or severe DNA damage, which is more common in older women.
