I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.

I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.

Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

Long shot 'cuz I don't know who's on Cohost/how far I can potentially reach: any chance there's a reproductive biologist around that knows what I should be reading to try and learn about how the corpus luteum comes about/what it does? I'm trying to do some pre-reading for potential postdocs, but I cannot seem to find anything more recent than 2005 about "what the hell is the corpus luteum anyways, and what's the cell biology that produces it?" Everyone seems to go "it's caused by LH, it produces progesterone, it's formed by the granulosa cells undergoing some transformation post-ovulation, good enough for our work."

(Rebugs obviously appreciated 'cuz I doubt my immediate circles have this info.)

Okay so I found a thesis (dissertation? I'm not quite sure on the english names of these things ) that I think would be great for your exact question, however it is unfortunately in hungarian (tho the summary is also in english, but it definitely doesn't go into depth) AND it is not quite about Human reproduction, but rather milk cows, however I think you could still perhaps benefit from the information, if you can / are willing to try to use translations! (I'd also be happy to help with it in my spare time) I can definitely send you a link if it's interesting to you!

Feel free to send me a link to the English title & summary! Hopefully it'll give me some new keywords to search, and if I'm lucky the thesis author will have published some papers on the same topic that I can dig up & read. I'm not worried that it's cows instead of humans; it may not be the exact same circuitry in ungulates vs humans, but like, it'll prolly give me at least some ideas to dig into.

The english summary is inside the thesis itself, so here's a link to it:
http://huveta.hu/bitstream/handle/10832/862/BaloghOG-ertekezes.pdf;jsessionid=9196B872D2BCF7F127BB234D6008E9F4?sequence=1
You can find it near at the beginning! And the author's name is Dr. Balogh Orsolya Gabriella, also included some other people at the start who helped with the thesis, so you can look into them too maybe! It talks about morphology too, so I think you might find some diagrams in there also, although I haven't scrolled through the whole thing so don't quote me on that haha
Have fun with it and let me know if any part catches your attention I'd be happy to try and help translate it for you:]

edit: Looked at it a bit more than skimming the gist, section 3.1.1 through 3.1.4. are specifically about the corpus luteum, 3.1.2 is the section that talks exactly about how the corpus luteum appears and such, so I think that section might answer exactly what you're looking for!

I'll be honest I don't trust a machine translation of scientific literature to be super useful, but the English summary did at least point me towards "ovarian cyst" as a potential avenue for digging into stuff (since some ovarian cysts develop from follicles vs the corpus luteum), so! Something I can look into more while lab hunting & background reading, thanks for the link!
