Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?🥚 Our latest work in @NatureCellBio led by @LastChrisThomas and @Tabea_Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging. bit.ly/3Ya8dEL (1/7)

Women are born with all their oocytes, which need to stay viable for decades to ensure fertility. How are they maintained for that long? Our latest research in @NatureCellBio reveals that oocyte maintenance involves exceptional protein longevity. nature.com/articles/s4155… (1/9)

Congratulations to our newly minted Dr. @sarahpenir on her great PhD defence! Thank you for your fantastic work on ovarian aging and all your contributions to the lab, Sarah! What an exciting feat; now it's time to celebrate! 🥳🍾🥂 @mpi_nat @IMPRS_GS


Our new paper in @CellCellPress answers a decades-old question: what is the function and composition of enigmatic structures called cytoplasmic lattices in mammalian oocytes? -> They are storage sites for essential proteins for the early embryo! bit.ly/45XwShG🧵(1/10)

Oocytes rely on maternal mRNAs for development into healthy eggs. But where and how are these mRNAs stored? Our latest work in @ScienceMagazine shows that mammalian oocytes store mRNAs in a mitochondria-associated membraneless compartment (MARDO). bit.ly/3MNQSf1 (1/9)
