We built a targeted protein degradation–based system to mimic reproductive age-related aneuploidy in young eggs - revealing how chromosome errors associated with female infertility arise with age. 🧬✨

A versatile cohesion manipulation system probes female reproductive age-related egg aneuploidy - Nature Aging
To study pathways that lead to aneuploidy during aging, the authors provide a system that enables cohesion protein depletion in mouse oocytes, mimicking effects that occur during aging. They uncover a...

We usually learn that centrioles/basal bodies are made of microtubule triplets. But our work on Plasmodium shows its basal body is built from singlets, which then mature into the doublets of a functional cilium. #TEAMTOMO www.nature.com/articles/s41...
