Excited to share my PhD work with @SchuhLab @mpi_nat on #aging and #fertility out now in @CurrentBiology!🥳 Women are born wilh millions of #eggs but left with a few by the time they are in their mid-30s. #DNADamage largely drives this loss. But why can't this damage just be repaired? 🥚🧬💥 We show why aged oocytes accumulate more DNA damage and also discover a network of DNA repair compartments! Read more below 👇

Women lose >90% of their #eggs by their mid-30s, with persistent #DNADamage driving this loss. But why isn’t this damage repaired? Our new work in @CurrentBiology, led by @ninadini_sharma, reveals the causes of high DNA damage in aged oocytes.🧬💥 bit.ly/48e35Ee (1/13)

Scientists around @SchuhLab, @LastChrisThomas, and @Tabea_Marx have now filmed #ovulation in mouse follicles from start to finish in real-time for the first time. This can contribute to new insights into #fertility research. ⬇️ @NatureCellBio mpinat.mpg.de/4823347/pr_242…

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)

Mammalian #eggcells have to stay functional in the #ovaries for a long time, sometimes decades. Scientists @SchuhLab, @JLiepe, Henning Urlaub & @yourUMG have investigated what helps the cells survive that long👇. @naturecellbio #researchresults mpinat.mpg.de/4737511/pr_241…

Melina Schuh @SchuhLab,@jentoft_ida & #Göttingen colleagues uncovered how mysterious structures in oocytes act like protein storage sites for the early embryo. The study provides insights into causes for infertility and new techniques for oocyte research. mpinat.mpg.de/4548115/pr_231…

We developed "DeepFIBing" - a new strategy to create #cryoFIB-lamellae for #cryoET in any depth of very large cells - this also works for tissue. If you want to know more, have a look into our publication in CELL with @jentoft_ida and @SchuhLab. #teamtomo bit.ly/3u3Azp6
