This project investigates the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying menstruation in primates. By comparing uterine linings across different species, it aims to identify gene networks that govern this reproductive trait and its evolutionary significance.
Menstruation is a recent evolutionary innovation in primates: the trait is present in some species (humans, baboons) but not in closely related others (orangutans, vervets).
In the latter and in most mammals, the uterine endometrium is reabsorbed at the end of the cycle instead of being shed when fecundation has not occurred.
The molecular and genetic underpinnings of this complex process are not fully understood, despite its critical involvement in gynaecological conditions. I propose to discov…
