Happy to share our latest publication in Nature Communications led by active graduate students, Fei Sun and Nourhan Ali! We found that increased DNA damage in full-grown oocytes correlates with diminished autophagy activation. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
The Lacefield Lab, team “mighty mice and yeasty beasts” are ready for the great pumpkin derby @MCBDartmouth. Check out our pumpkin with a Mighty Mouse, a Yeasty Beast, and the five flags of the countries represented in the lab.
Women lose >90% of their #eggs by their mid-30s, with persistent #DNADamage driving this loss. But why isn’t this damage repaired?
Our new work in @CurrentBiology, led by @ninadini_sharma, reveals the causes of high DNA damage in aged oocytes.🧬💥

Excited to share the publication of 'Molecular Mechanisms Determining Mammalian Oocyte Quality', edited by me, including outstanding chapters from Karen Schindler @KASchindler27, Jennifer Wood @ProfJen2695, Joe Qiao, So-Youn Kim @so_youn_kim and Mike Lampson, and their teams.
2️⃣ new publications from Joao Matos and his team with are out now! 🤩 In @CellPressNews the team introduces a new method for investigating filaments. In @Dev_Cell the team characterizes the proteome during meiosis 🧬 ➡️ tinyurl.com/rmv29yzv and tinyurl.com/2b39nf3m
Talented Africans can contribute more to scientific discovery if given ample exposure and necessary research training. Huge thanks to @LacefieldLab at @dartmouth and the @afrisnet RTC for training these promising Ghanaian interns!!
