📣Huge congrats to our postdoc, Takaya Totsuka, on his new paper @currentbiology.bsky.social 🎉 He found that Ca2+ oscillations regulate oocyte spindle rotation! 🐭The project started during his PhD with Prof. Miho Ohsugi.

Congratulations to Melina for this well-deserved honor! 🎉

‘Landmark’ study: three-person IVF leads to eight healthy children Long-awaited results suggest that mitochondrial donation can prevent babies from inheriting diseases caused by mutant mitochondria.

📣 Paper alert!! Excited to share the 2nd research paper from my time in the @bokelab.bsky.social at @crg.eu, out today in the @embojournal.org!

We asked: "how do human oocytes regulate proteostatic organelles under physiological conditions?"

🚨Our latest work on selfish centromeres is published @currentbiology.bsky.social 🐭🧬We found that the spindle checkpoint contributes to non-Mendelian segregation! Huge congrats to our lab manager, Zaak Walton, who led the project🎉

Our PostDoc @debojitsaha.bsky.social recently attended a @cshlcourses.bsky.social & came back with new techniques and stunning images. This mouse E9.5 embryo, labeled with Raldh2 (red), Fgf8 (green), Msx1 (magenta), DAPI (blue) is just one example. #Fluorescence revealing the magic of development!✨

Great opportunity for ECRs to gain experience in being an associate editor in the field of reproduction & fertility!

📣 Cilia Lab is growing 📣 - we have 2️⃣ open positions at @uoe-igc.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social for talented and motivated researchers interested in disease modelling & genetic therapies which target #RareRespiratoryDiseases at their root cause. 🧪🧪#ciliopathies #PrimaryCiliaryDyskinesia 1/4

Juhi Narula and Sarah Wignall (@sadiewignall.bsky.social) identify a new role for the conserved kinase PLK-1 in suppressing centrosome maturation in oocytes, which surprisingly is opposite to its role in mitosis. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

#CellCycle #Genetics #Cytoskeleton #Development

Spatiotemporal orchestration of mitosis by cyclin-dependent kinase - Nature Experiments in fission yeast show that cyclin-dependent kinase is first activated in the nucleus, from which the mitotic signal is propagated from CDK at the centrosome to the cytoplasm.

I'm very excited that my first postdoc paper is out now at @nature.com!
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I developed new single cell CDK sensors to investigate how CDK orchestrates mitosis including investigating bistability/hysteresis, how activity is propagated, and the role of centrosomes.

What an evening🙂! Full booths, exciting lectures,& interesting discussions. The Night of Science @ndw-goe.bsky.social🌙🦉was a real highlight for us, with curious visitors, lots of questions, & many “aha” moments.
It was great meeting you all! See you next time when science turns night into day again!

One of my favorite insects: any kind of cuckoo wasp. These shiny, metallic flying gems always invite me to take a break and observe them, whether I’m out for a walk, in the middle of a conversation, or in a hurry. Simply fascinating.

Thanks to you for your work that ultimately affects everyone of us and for offering these kind of excursions also to a lay audience!
