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.

🗞️Our June issue is live!✨Read about the healthspan and lifespan effects of time-restricted feeding in mice, insights from mathematical models of aging, how R-loops drive the SASP, & much more nature.com/nataging/volumes/…
My computer is writing and testing fully functional, modular, and intuitive software while I make breakfast for my kid.

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 😉
We're pretty steeped in digital computing. Is the emphasis on symbolic representation influenced by that? Do other representations fit in? Analog for instance? Is the goal to answer: What is the 'right' set of characteristics imputed from technology to describe biology?

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…
Really enjoyed this conversation🎙️ about the metabolism and the bidirectional communication between mother and embryo during early pregnancy in 🐄 #ReproRocks

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?
How should we think about and model the control of cellular processes? Had a wonderful conversation about this with renowned systems biologist Jim Ferrell of @Stanford on @SSRepro Future Conceived Podcast🎙️ #ReproRocks buzzsprout.com/1786803/episo…
Want to hear a world class developmental biologist's take on the role of transcriptional programs in embryo development? Check this recent episode of @SSRepro Future Conceived Podcast🎙️ #ReproRocks buzzsprout.com/1786803/episo…
New @SSRepro Future Conceived podcast episode🎙️ Had a great chat with Kosta Simintiras of LSU Ag about maternal embryo communication and the complex metabolism of uterine fluids🐄 Check it out wherever you get your podcasts or👇 #ReproRocks buzzsprout.com/1786803/episo…
