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…

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.🧬💥 bit.ly/48e35Ee (1/13)

Why do eggs in ovaries last for decades? Long-lived proteins may be key! Read more about our recent @NatureCellBio study and a related @eLife study by @NUDuncanLab in this nice news article in @ScienceMagazine. science.org/content/article/…

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!!
