Dr. Caroline Doherty @mouthpipette.bsky.social from Dr. Laird Lab at UCSF is telling us about oocyte quality and its role in fertility during maternal aging. (An aside: Dr. Doherty is our early leader for best BlueSky handle!) Dr. Doherty discovered that support granulosa cells deliver mRNAs 7/

#science #chemed Recently, my daughter who is a molecular biologist asked for some help understanding a molecule with a crazy ring system that she uses as a fluorescent probe. It costs $200/mg (or $1,885.00 for 25 mg, at the volume discount). I thought that was a lot.
