    Abstract Objective: Transgender women take gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) to affirm their gender identity and improve quality of life and well-being. Usually, GAHT in transgender women consists of estrogen plus a testosterone-lowering medication. The use of progestogens in GAHT for transgender women has been a controversial topic due to lack of evidence for benefit and potential for increased harm.
    Methods: A systematic review was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using 4 databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Ovid, and Cochrane). Manuscripts were reviewed from January 2000 to March 2022 to identify effects of progestogens in transgender women over the age of 16 years on breast development, cardiovascular disease, bone density, quality of life, and stroke incidence.
    Results: Ten articles were deemed eligible based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Studies analyzing users of cyproterone acetate were also included if there was a comparator group. No relevant studies were found assessing stroke incidence in the transgender population using a progestogen compound.
    Conclusion: Overall, findings were significant for a decreased high-density lipoprotein level and increased thromboembolism risk in transgender women using progestogens. No conclusive evidence was found regarding improved quality of life or breast development. Further research needs to be conducted assessing the effects of progestogens in transgender women.

    Abstract The relationship between maternal mental health and infant development has been established in the literature. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a particularly challenging environment for new mothers as several natural processes are disrupted. The objective of this study is to elucidate protective factors and environmental deficits associated with the NICU. The experiences of forty-six (

    Abstract Undergraduate students participating in the UCLA Undergraduate Research Consortium for Functional Genomics (URCFG) have conducted a two-phased screen using RNA interference (RNAi) in combination with fluorescent reporter proteins to identify genes important for hematopoiesis in Drosophila. This screen disrupted the function of approximately 3500 genes and identified 137 candidate genes for which loss of function leads to observable changes in the hematopoietic development. Targeting RNAi to maturing, progenitor, and regulatory cell types identified key subsets that either limit or promote blood cell maturation. Bioinformatic analysis reveals gene enrichment in several previously uncharacterized areas, including RNA processing and export and vesicular trafficking. Lastly, the participation of students in this course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) correlated with increased learning gains across several areas, as well as increased STEM retention, indicating that authentic, student-driven research in the form of a CURE represents an impactful and enriching pedagogical approach.
