Very sad to see that #RareDiseaseDay event at FDA-NIH has been cancelled. Cuts that limit rare disease research and cures (1) leave patients behind, and (2) forfeit precious opportunity to learn more about common human diseases.

Here we characterize PRDM10 as an essential maternal transcription factor and dissect its role in regulating oocyte maturarion and oocyte-to-embryo transition!
On to the next!

Congrats to Daniel Messerschmidt the true mastermind behind this work and the whole team!

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some might leave the country -- or abandon research altogether.
