Research Focus
Dr. Xiaoqin Ye's research lab at the University of Georgia focuses on understanding how the uterus regulates fluid absorption during early pregnancy. This research is particularly important for improving fertility treatments, especially for women experiencing issues with embryo implantation. By studying both mouse models and human tissue samples, the lab aims to uncover the hormonal and cellular mechanisms involved in uterine fluid dynamics, which can significantly impact pregnancy outcomes.
