Why are some chromosomes like #21 in Down syndrome more error-prone in mammalian eggs? 🤔
Our new study in @NatureComms reveals why acrocentric chromosomes often mis-segregate, causing aneuploidy and miscarriages. (1/9)

Very interesting study from @eirini_bl and the whole team deciphering why acrocentric chromosomes in porcine oocytes are more prone to missegregation and further aneuploidy.
Kick-off of the 74th Annual Meeting of @maxplanckpress in #Goettingen – our director Melina Schuh @SchuhLab opens the three-day internal event with her scientific lecture “From studies of eggs to fertility treatment”. #MaxPlanck75
We had a wonderful lab retreat at Ringberg Castle in the Bavarian Alps, overlooking the beautiful #Tegernsee. ☀️🏰
Lots of interesting discussions about the future of #fertility, fun games and exploring the nature around us together!
Very exciting experience to organise and moderate this #paneldiscussion as part of the @MPGpostdocnet-Career Development Working Group. A big thank you to everyone for sharing so much information🙏 I learned a lot and look forward to more upcoming events with the @MPGpostdocnet !
Last week, we received inspiring input on different career options for early-stage researchers at our PostdocNet event! Thank you Alex Faesen, Anne Grewlich-Gercke, Elzbieta Piatkowska, Laura Turco, & Prateek for the inspiring insights.
Last week I attended my first #GRC on Germinal Stem Cell Biology. It was an honour to give a talk in front of this audience, and learn about the latest advances in the field! I look forward to meeting everyone again in the next one!
Wondering what career options are available for early stage researchers? Join the panel discussion organised by @MPGpostdocnet on career paths in academia and beyond!

Exciting event coming up! Tune in to our panel discussion on Career Paths in Academia and Beyond. 5 panelists will share their insights on pursuing academic careers and exploring non-academic options. May 16th, register online👇 #PostdocNet#CareerDevelopment#Academia#Beyond
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). https://t.co/kZehsBRKxb (1/9)
Through his pioneering research, Svante Pääbo – this year’s #NobelPrize laureate in physiology or medicine – accomplished something seemingly impossible: sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, an extinct relative of present-day humans.
Check out our latest review in @NatRevMCB! We discuss unique features of mammalian #oocytes that make them prone to #aneuploidy.
We also describe the impact of maternal age, and ask how we could extend the reproductive lifespan of women.

Fascinating science🧪, cool drinks🥤, tasty snacks🍟 – All this is offered at @ndw_goe. You are welcome to join us at @MPSGoettingen (North Campus), we are looking forward to seeing you there! #ndwgoe#ndw22
Thank you all for being there and for sharing this special moment with me! 🙏😀 I am excited to have achieved this goal and to be part of the @SchuhLab ! 🎓👩🎓🔬 @mpi_nat#phdlife#PhDone
Great day celebrating the fantastic defense of our PhD student, now Dr. Eirini Bellou. 😄
Many congratulations, Eirini! And thanks for all the exciting work you have done in the lab! 🎓🥂🥳 @mpi_nat@eirini_bl
