An interesting paper by @katecavanaugh.bsky.social shows that aged embryos have higher contractility than younger ones, which impedes their spreading and attaching during implantation. Potential to help with embryo screening! 👉Also, she's on the job market right now!👈 👇👇👇 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

How does an ovarian follicle remodel in space and time to release an egg? 💥🥚 We have an exciting PhD project combining follicle culture, advanced imaging and quantitative analysis to understand the cellular dynamics of ovulation. 🔬 Co-supervised by me and @guignardlab.bsky.social. Please share! 🌱
