Identifying molecular markers of egg quality to improve fertility and reproductive success in fish and farm animals

Updated: 14 October 2026 
To generate the next generation, animal oocytes (ova/eggs) must form and get organised properly. Eggs of many animals (fish, frogs, pigs, cattle) and humans contain a membrane-less subcellular structure, the ‘Balbiani body’ (BB). Read more

Deciphering molecular mechanisms of nuclear autophagy

Updated: 14 October 2026 
Autophagy, which means 'self- eating', is an essential process that involves the degradation of cellular material. Cells use autophagy to clear damaged cellular components and organelles in order to abolish their function when it is not needed in the cell. Read more
