I have a new parthenogenesis paper with GloverLab!

We found that aneuploidy arises during development in natural Drosophila parthenogens and our genetically induced parthenogens

Just got a sneak peek at the group photo from #Centrosomes2023 in Taksim Square! 240 brilliant scientists from around the globe came together, enriching the İstanbul’s scientific bonds and outreach!

Pallavi Panda broke my heart @centrosomes2023 by showing that centrioles work just fine even without their beautiful nine-fold symmetry. duplication. MT organisation. No pb. of course we all want to know what happens to cilia ... !

**New Paper**

Prepare to be amazed: some parthenogenetic flies reproduce as larvae and the offspring burst forth from their mother in a sci-fi-worthy spectacle! 🪰👽 That and other fly facts in our review @labglover #Parthenogenesis #AlienInspired #Entomology

It was nice meeting everyone at the #CSHAsia #Cilia & #Centrosomes Meeting. We hope everyone had a good time with us and have a safe trip home!

Sorry jet lagged brain meant to tag Pallavi Panda -ace talk GloverLab - so many questions about these wacky structures… 👏👏

Centrosome capture techniques for profiling cell type specific differences - Fanni Gergely, solid & liquid- like scaffolds in mitotic centrosomes Siu-Shing Wong Raff Lab & super cool long or skinny splayed centrioles by dosing complex required for 9x integrity #CSHACilia2023 !

Centrosome tweeps, 'Centrosomes in Development, Disease and Evolution' hybrid meeting will be in Istanbul on 26-29 September, 2023. We secured funding from EMBO The Company of Biologists, registration will start soon. Join us for the largest international #centrosome meeting. Please RT!

Thanksgiving with the hearts of two labs, sharing happiness of this year

Happy #FluorescenceFriday !

This is a captivating image from Levente Kovács GloverLab Caltech. Their work discusses the evolutionary conservation of Gorab (trans-Golgi) and the divergence of binding partner Sas6 (inner core procentriole).

Farewell to our fabulous summer students, Hanna & Buraq! Happy that they had an enriching Summer in the lab exploring centrosomes/cilia, as much as we enjoyed their curious, youthful spirit!

Such beautiful clarity of the microtubule triplets and 9-fold symmetry 😍

Our paper is finally out! After 10 years of model building we generate complete embryoids from three types of stem cells - they develop heart, brain structures and more. We show the first proof of concept knocking out a gene required for neurodevelopment nature.com/articles/s4158…
