How does aging reshape a tissue that must continually rebuild itself hundreds of times? Using spatial transcriptomics, we find that ovarian aging disrupts the coordination of cells across space and time before reproductive cycles stop. #OvarianAging

"I ended up with the project that nobody wanted to do." 🧪 Dr. David Pepin discusses how a "failed" postdoc led him to MGH and a technical challenge that paved the way for his Roger V. Short Medal-winning research. A must-watch for trainees!

If people want the deeper background behind my critique of pancomputationalism, here are 10 books that shaped my thinking. None is "the answer" by itself, but each helped me break the spell of the machine metaphor in biology. Many of them are available online, DM if not!/1 😉

CCat: what are the best books and resources, in your opinion, for getting started with the technical details on this and all the related subjects you write about?

New publication from our group. We examine the primary functional consequences of mtDNA mutations across major organ systems. Spoiler: the cumulative mutational burden broadly phenocopies a complex I deficiency. cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S…

Accumulated mtDNA mutations are linked to specific impairments in NADH-linked respiration

Let me announce the other preprint uploaded last week: “Flow-driven lumen remodeling and valve opening in the vas deferens” biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… This work tackles a fundamental question: how does a reproductive duct dynamically control its lumen shape during sperm transport?
