A human female is born with all the egg cells she will ever have. The possibility for the development of new oocytes is zero. Given this constraint, it is crucial that these gametes remain healthy and ...

A small-molecule compound named TAC has been identified that reawakens the catalytic subunit of telomerase (TERT) in somatic cells and, in doing so, stalls multiple hallmarks of natural aging without ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...
