Our paper examines how queen and worker harvester ants differ in ovarian morphology and gene expression, shedding light on the ovary as a hub for multiple physiological systems, not just reproduction. Check it out! rdcu.be/ePNP8

The Balbiani body is formed by microtubule-controlled molecular condensation of Buc in early oogenesis
Kar et al. demonstrate that Balbiani body (Bb) formation is achieved via developmental condensation in zebrafish oogenesis, driven by Buc phase separation and evolving from a dynamic liquid-like state into a solid-like stable compartment. Multistep regulation by microtubules controls condensation, ensuring proper Bb formation and oocyte polarity.

Finally - the 🧵!
So, the piRNA pathway defends the animal germline from transposons. But most of what we know comes from narrow developmental windows like late oogenesis, where it's easiest to study.
We asked if the pathway is the same across development.
It is not!

We watched piRNAs and transposons across development, saw them dance tightly and wrote a paper about it.
It's so cool to see it online and we will make a thread about it all very soon. Stay tuned :-)

Cool work on mRNA transport that has its roots in work from the Schupbach and Suter labs on how anterior-posterior polarity is set up during Drosophila oogenesis 🧪
The hidden rules behind mRNA transport.
A collaborative study between @simonbullock11.bsky.social & @carter-lab.bsky.social’s groups has found a structural code that explains how cells selectively transport mRNAs.

Oogenesis, the production of "large reproductive cell," continues until around 20 weeks after conception (with some evidence suggesting that it may continue later into a person's life), and spermatogenesis doesn't begin until puberty.
