🌟A perfect way to wrap up the year with my PhD work published in @NatureComms! Huge thanks to @SchuhLab, @mpi_nat & all the co-authors🧬🔬Curious about #chromosome segregation and #aneuploidy in #meiosis?
Check out our study below👇#Oocytes #Microscopy #Reproduction #Fertility

[Schuh Lab @SchuhLab]

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.

Excited to organise this unique panel session with @Dusica_bio and @eirini_bl as the Plön chapter of our #career_event series!

[MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences @mpi_nat]

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

[Schuh Lab @SchuhLab]

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!

[Eirini Bellou @eirini_bl]

Beautiful week at @cshl for #cshlsymp23!☀️If you are interested in talking about oocytes and aneuploidy, please come to poster #51 🔬 @SchuhLab

[Eirini Bellou @eirini_bl]

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 !

[Max Planck Postdocnet @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.

[Eirini Bellou @eirini_bl]

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!

[Eirini Bellou @eirini_bl]

Wondering what career options are available for early stage researchers? Join the panel discussion organised by @MPGpostdocnet on career paths in academia and beyond!

@SpermnOocyte @techreview @SchuhLab @Toliclab @LenartLab Congratulations Nick! :)

[Eirini Bellou @eirini_bl]

Great work!

[Schuh Lab @SchuhLab]

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)

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

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.

[Schuh Lab @SchuhLab]

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.

[Nature News & Views @NatureNV]

Do all chromosomes have the same chance of being mis-segregated during cell division? https://t.co/jr8x6y9VEh

[MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences @mpi_nat]

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
