    Proud to share what we hope will be a reference study on human oocyte proteostasis. Young-donor eggs show globally reduced organelle activity vs. somatic cells, with an even steeper drop as they mature. 👇 for @zaffagg3 's detailed explanation embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

    Have you wondered how a decades-old oocyte can give rise to a new embryo while other cells in the body age? Our study @Nature, spearheaded by @AidaRoNu, uncovers the mechanism that allows early #oocytes to maintain ROS-free #mitochondria nature.com/articles/s4158…🧵
