Check out our new review in Reproduction! 💥🥚🔬 In “The explosion of life”, @anitabichisecchi.bsky.social, @petramikec.bsky.social and I explore how live imaging has shaped our understanding of ovulation, revealing the cellular and tissue dynamics that drive egg release. doi.org/10.1093/repr...

Seeing is believing: historical snapshots of ovulation. Representative stills from landmark live-imaging studies capturing periovulatory
dynamics and follicle rupture.

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! 🌱
