So proud of our new publication in @currentbiology.bsky.social A wonderful collaborative effort spearheaded by the amazing @ethanewe.bsky.social from @odedrechavi.bsky.social group, with the germline side expertly done by our very own Hanna Achache. bsky.app/profile/oded...

Neuronal RNAi and oxygen-sensing circuit shape germline resilience to heat stress
Ewe et al. demonstrate that neuronal small RNAs can modulate germline development under heat stress in Caenorhabditis elegans. They further show that disrupting the oxygen-sensing neural circuit promo...

Check out Ethan's new paper on how the brain helps protect fertility from heat-induced damage, now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Ethan will be opening his own lab in London in a few months - I highly recommend joining him (students/post-docs/technicians) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So excited about our recent 📜in @natcomms.nature.com In short, we found 3 lncRNAs that ensure oocyte differentiation by condensing FBF-2, a protein that prevents meiosis entry. And yes, a homologous mechanism probably exists in mammals. #fertility #lncRNA #meiosis nature.com/articles/s41...

Three lncRNAs promote PUM protein condensation and germline differentiation - Nature Communications
RNA-binding FBF proteins control germline stem cell differentiation. Here, the authors show that three long non-coding RNAs bind, condense, and thus inhibit FBFs to promote the transition of germline stem cells into meiosis.

One of the best collaborations we ever had. Brainstorming with ‪@ethanewe.bsky.social‬ whenever a new result came up, was so uplifting and we felt like we boldly go where no one has gone before. Top tier research institutions: grab him while you can!

WOoo! Hot pre-print alert! 🔥 Check out our new story - We describe evidence that "neuronal oversight" of germline small RNAs prevents sterility and allows lab-domesticated C. elegans to reproduce when temperatures go up (1/2) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

‪So proud we could take part in this amazing project! Germline/meiosis crowd, you must check this out. A whole new dimension of non-cell autonomous control on gametogenesis. Also, triple shoutout for @ethanewe.bsky.social . A great PI on the way #meiosis #germline #ncRNA

After 10 years of work, a complete telomere-to-telomere gap-free genome for C. elegans finally exists: it has 106 Mb rather than the textbook 100.3 Mb, and up to 366 additional genes. genome.cshlp.org/content/35/8...

We go to so many meetings and conferences that most just blend into our memory. But rare ones stand out and truly change the way we think and do science. 👇This was one of those that will stay a part of me.

A kind invitation by the Cell Biology Department of @charlesuni.cuni.cz brought Israeli scientist stranded in Prague after the #TCTeAC to do what we love best - participate in exciting scientific discussions!

In this conference we couldn't care less where you published your story because 1. we only care if it's interesting and good and 2. participants will discuss unpublished work

With more research in this direction the former may not be so certain!
