Honored that our work on rescuing age-dependent chromosome errors in human eggs was highlighted by @theguardian.com. 👇
Our work on improving human egg quality was featured in @theguardian.com.
We hope this will help to make #IVF more successful and allow more couples to conceive. 💜

Our study on a male-essential microRNA and the evolution of other dosage compensation mechanisms in birds is now out in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A male-essential miRNA is key for avian sex chromosome dosage compensation - Nature
Birds have evolved a unique sex chromosome dosage compensation mechanism involving the male-biased microRNA (miR-2954), which is essential for male survival by regulating the expression of dosage-sens...

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.
