The zinc-finger transcription factor Blimp1/Prdm1 is required for uterine remodelling and repair in the mouse by Maria-Eleni Xypolita, Mubeen Goolam, Elizabeth K. Bikoff, Elizabeth J. Robertson, Arne W. Mould

“…RNA-seq together with immunostaining experiments strongly suggest that the failure to up-regulate expression of the matrix metalloprotease Mmp10 in combination with insufficient suppression of BMP signalling, likely explain Blimp1-dependent phenotypic changes. In the post-partum uterus Blimp1 together with Mmp10 are highly upregulated at sites of tissue repair following placental detachment. …”
