What if you could deliver molecular tools directly into oocytes without microinjection? In our new paper, online today @Dev_journal (doi.org/10.1242/dev.202857), we introduce VitelloTag, a new cargo delivery tool to enable injection-free genome editing. 👇Read on for a short 🧵

Very excited to share the first preprint "Reconstitution of chromatin reorganization during mammalian oocyte development" from our lab🤞 Most of the experiments were done by my first PhD student Jing, who joined our lab at the second year of his PhD 😆 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Absolutely mesmerizing! The meiotic astral microtubules in clam oocytes are a thrilling to image. My exploration of diverse marine species at MBL, Woods Hole, was a thrilling and highly successful adventure for any marine biologist!

This seems on topic: Göttingen was once the center for mathematics in the world - until their gov had no more need for them. The profs that went to Princeton and other institutes in the US laid the foundation for the digital world. Massive brain drain. sites.tufts.edu/histmath/fil…

Amazing news! Congratulations!
Replying to @PosnienLab
... because my upcoming work will be supported by a @dfg_public Heisenberg fellowship. Many thanks to very critical colleagues & friends (@Nturetz, @max_farnworth, @McGregorLab, @AkisPapantonis, Tim Beißbarth & @Bucher_lab) who helped polishing my pitch.

#Cohesin is famous for its role in folding our #genome... but not in all cell types, according to the latest study by the lab of Jan-Michael Peters, now published in @genomeresearch. Sperm does it differently! ⬇ News: imp.ac.at/news/article/sperm… Paper: genome.cshlp.org/content/ear… (1/2)

#BOARD23 (6/6) – Whenever possible, we replace animal experiments at our institute with alternatives such as cell cultures or computer simulations. However, these alternative methods are not always sufficient to understand complex biological processes in the organism.⬇ @The_EARA

When I just started at the @IMPvienna I had a short side discussion with @PauliGroup about one of her ideas and we decided to join forces. Truly collaborative we went on an adventure driven by @FriedaLeesch and @llorenzoorts, published today rdcu.be/c3Ia3 @Nature.
