Proud to share what we hope will be a reference study on human oocyte proteostasis. Young-donor eggs show globally reduced organelle activity vs. somatic cells, with an even steeper drop as they mature. 👇 for @zaffagg3 's detailed explanation embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

📣 Paper alert!! Excited to share the 2nd research paper from my time in the @LabBoke at @CRGenomica, out today in the @embojournal! We asked: "how do human oocytes regulate proteostatic organelles under physiological conditions?" We collaborated with @DexeusMujer and employed

Have you wondered how a decades-old oocyte can give rise to a new embryo while other cells in the body age? Our study @Nature, spearheaded by @AidaRoNu, uncovers the mechanism that allows early #oocytes to maintain ROS-free #mitochondria nature.com/articles/s4158…🧵

I am very happy by the continuous support of the @ERC_Research for our work on immature oocytes. We are looking forward to finding out the strategies oocytes employ to evade ageing! #proteostasis & #metabolism aficionados, pls get in touch as we will be hiring #ERCCoG 1/3
