The Medical Research Council has announced PhD student Jackie Maybin as the winner of the prestigious Max Perutz Science Writing Award for her essay "The best a man can’t get." The prize-winning essay focuses on the womb’s power to heal itself without scarring as women go through their menstrual cycles - a healing process unique to the female reproductive system. Greater understanding of this phenomenon could have a huge impact for both men and women, in particular, how we treat inflammation and scarring throughout the body.
