🧬 Some discoveries really do take a long gestation.
After a very long one (appropriately…), I’m excited to share work revealing an unexpected role for the epigenetic regulator ZFP57- linking development, lactation, milk composition and lifelong health.

Our work challenges the idea that mother–offspring co-adaptation is purely environmental. Instead, we show genetically driven co-adaptation, with ZFP57 coordinating nutritional provisioning: prenatally via genomic imprinting and postnatally via mammary and lactation gene networks

🙏This work was only possible thanks to an incredible team! thank you to all my co-authors for their insight, persistence, and patience over the many years this project took to come to life.

Breastfeeding boosts the baby’s lifelong health – but 1 in 20 women have difficulties.
@Geula_Hanin @GeneticsCam analysed breast cell changes during lactation, and found that the 'milk squeezing' cells, rather than the 'milk-producing' cells, may be to blame.
Find out how this could lead to new ways to supporting mothers 👇

Cambridge Lactation Network brings together researchers across Cambridge to explore the profound roles of lactation and human milk in health, disease, and development.
This thriving, interdisciplinary community welcomes all researchers interested in lactation.

New in @Nature🧬: We discovered why keeping weight off is so challenging - fat cells retain an epigenetic #memory of their previous state, even after weight loss. This helps explain the biology behind weight regain. Excited to share our newest work! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

8/ Strain-specific expression:
In addition to imprinting, we identified 16,432 genes with strain-specific expression bias, offering rich insights into genetic variation across different mouse models.
