Excited to share some work that came out of my lab when I was at UCSF. Thanks to @UCSFstemcell @UCSFOrtho and @calico, We studied cellular dynamics and trajectories through single cell RNA Seq, heteromotility analysis and Cell Painting, to identify key regulators of stem cell

Why Does Female Fertility Decline So Fast? The Key Is the Ovary. New in Science: @czbiohub & @UCSF team led by Eliza Gaylord, Mariko Foecke, Ryan Samuel, Bikem Soygur, Tara McIntyre, @FaranakFattahi & @DJ_Laird compared human & mouse ovaries across age.

New research shows that the surrounding cells and tissues of the ovary play a crucial role in how eggs mature and how quickly fertility wanes.

“Bubble baby” disease often shortens the life of children like Hataalii Tiisyatonii Begay, or "HT." But UCSF researchers — thanks to NIH funding — can share breakthrough research nationwide, including about a new lifesaving gene therapy treatment that gave HT his life back.

Not only does UCSF's NIH-funded research advance health care and improve patients' lives, it has an estimated $18.7B ripple effect on the economy. The result is more innovative startups, more jobs, and stronger companies that hire workers nationwide. https://t.co/zi7zp0LFlG
