#cellbio2025 The Women in Cell Biology (WICB) Committee has put together some truly fantastic events for this year’s meeting! We can’t wait for you to check them out:
Excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint on nucleolar dynamics during oogenesis! We show that oocytes extensively remodel nucleolar architecture during development to support massive ribosome production. Thanks to our collaborators from the Gerton lab!
