How do sperm and egg fuse? Surprisingly, we still don’t fully know… Our field has uncovered many pieces of the fertilization puzzle, but not how they fit together. We identify ✨ SPARK ✨ - a conserved sperm complex that couples sperm-egg binding to fusion.

A new paper from the lab shows that Nanos3 and Dead end1 can form a complex with eIF3d to activate RNA translation in primordial germ cells.

A Nanos3-containing protein complex can activate RNA translation in primordial germ cells in vivo - EMBO Reports
Maintaining the germline fate requires tight post-transcriptional control of RNA function. Here, we investigate how primordial germ cell (PGC) identity is maintained in zebrafish and reveal that the c...

1/25 New paper out in PNAS! We show that the fitness costs of reproductive specialization, where somatic cells give up reproduction, scale inversely with organism size. Larger organisms can afford far more soma, removing a key barrier to multicellular complexity.

A duo of preprints on the dynamics of the first cell fate decision in mouse by Madeleine Chalifoux (first grad student in the lab!) and Maria Avdeeva (Flatiron). We use quantitative live imaging of key cell fate determinants to follow the segregation of inner cell mass and trophectoderm lineages.
