The Mayo laboratory investigates hormone action and signal transduction within the mammalian reproductive axis. They examine the developmental pathways involved in the initial formation and growth of ovarian follicles, focusing specifically on the role of Notch signaling in mediating somatic cell-germ cell interactions. The lab studies the dynamic hormonal regulation of gene expression in mature follicles that ovulate, with an emphasis on genes encoding the ovarian hormone inhibin. Their work contributes to a deeper understanding of reproductive biology, particularly the mechanisms underlying hormonal effects on ovarian function.
