Announcing the next phase of ACED, the International Alliance for Cancer Early Detection! 🎉

We are thrilled to welcome @DanaFarber and @DKFZ to our growing research community.

They join our continuing partners, @OfficialUoM, @ucl, @OHSUKnight, and @Cambridge_Uni, in this collaboration to revolutionise cancer early detection for real-world patient impact.

You can explore the analyses of our #aging mouse #reproductive atlas through a Shiny app: cancerevolution.dkfz.de/estrus/ It includes differential expression, TF activity, cell-cell communication and links to the raw data.

Scientists from DKFZ have uncovered unexpected long-term consequences of female reproductive function: The constant remodeling of the organs of the reproductive tract during the reproductive cycle leads to fibrosis and chronic inflammation over the years.

Happy to announce that our story on the effect of #aging and estrous cycling on the female #reproductive tract is out @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/… It was a fantastic effort by Ivana Winkler @DKFZ. Follow the 🧵 to find out the unexpected cost of cyclical remodeling...

Thank you to @tolkachov2112, Fritjof Lammers, Perrine Lacour, Klaudija Daugeleite, @JasperPanten, @FloGrunschlager, @haas_lab and the @odom_lab, it's been a pleasure. Thank you to the @dfg_public for funding.

@tolkachov2112 @JasperPanten @FloGrunschlager @haas_lab @odom_lab @dfg_public Thank you also to @augustoschneide for the VCD model!

Why is the success rate of IVF so low? In our new study in mice we find that oocyte-granulosa intercellular communication is severely disrupted by the exogenous hormones used to trigger superovulation: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Superovulation causes the release of two classes of oocytes with distinct developmental potentials. These classes can be predicted with reasonable accuracy by non-invasively profiling the transcriptome of the associated granulosa cells.

Congrats to Klaudija Daugelaite, Perrine Lacour & Ivana Winkler! With the @odom_lab @dkfz

The menopause is unique to us and a few toothed whales, most sources will tell you. But a study by @afilimon says the menopause is in fact widespread among mammals. So which is it?

Both are right, as I explain in this piece:

Do mammals have menopause? Happy to share our commentary, just out in @CellCellPress: authors.elsevier.com/a/1h%7EXhL7PXm…
