A new #StemCell-Based #EmbryoModels public dialogue report is published today. In this accompanying article – progress.org.uk/stem-cell-base… – Sandy Starr (our Deputy Director) and Christina Rozeik (Cambridge Reproduction's Programme Manager) explain what led to the dialogue, and what happens next.


📢Forum on 11 June Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) from 3pm. Interdisciplinary conversations relating to Transpositions - drawing connections between different ways of reproducing life. See programme at repro.cam.ac.uk/cambridge-repr… Or register now forms.office.com/e/j9tc6NMcZb



Excited to share our latest work Turner Lab 🚨 Pace of development is often adjusted to gestation time ⏱️So how does the extremely short gestation of marsupials affects their embryo development ? 🐨🦘#DevBio biorxiv.org/content/10.110…




Excellent article on gender health gap by Kelle Moley Ferring Pharmaceuticals nature.com/articles/d4374…

Women are born with all their oocytes, which need to stay viable for decades to ensure fertility. How are they maintained for that long? Our latest research in Nature Cell Biology reveals that oocyte maintenance involves exceptional protein longevity. nature.com/articles/s4155… (1/9)


That’s a wrap on our 2024 Annual Meeting! Thank you to our amazing speakers, chairs, organisers, attendees (online and in-person!) and sponsors The Company of Biologists and Ferring Pharmaceuticals for a fantastic event!



PET is proud to have published the new #SCBEMcode with Cambridge Reproduction today, & grateful to all the members of the Working Group that drafted the Code Read this article – progress.org.uk/creating-a-cod…– in which Working Group members reflect on the Code's significance #SCBEMs #EmbryoModels





Beyond thrilled to share my PhD work, published yesterday in Developmental Cell. We show that both NODAL and BMP signalling are active in the human blastocyst, but NODAL signalling is not required to initiate or maintain the human pluripotent epiblast. 1/10
