Understanding the control of oocyte number and egg quality.
Understanding the control of oocyte number and egg quality. The Johnson Lab has a long-standing interest in the ovaries of different organisms, from flies to humans. Ovarian function can be summarized in two parts. First, ovaries produce the female gametes, eggs, that are required to produce the next generation. Second, ovaries support the health and well-being of the female, and there are often consequences when their function ceases (e.g., human menopause). We seek to understand how and why egg number changes over time, and how we can support the production of high-quality eggs capable of developing into healthy children.
