Authors Heim A, Cheng S, Orth J, Stengel F, Schuh M, Mayer TU Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2025 Aug 28;16(1):8051. Abstract Meiotic maturation of vertebrate oocytes occurs in the near-absence of transcription. Thus, female fertility relies on timely translational activation of maternal transcripts stockpiled in full-grown prophase-I-arrested oocytes.

Abstract Biogenesis of mitoribosomes requires dedicated chaperones, RNA-modifying enzymes, and GTPases, and defects in mitoribosome assembly lead to severe mitochondriopathies in humans. Here, we

Authors Sala FA, Ditter K, Dybkov O, Urlaub H, Hillen HS Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2025 Mar 6;16(1):2261. Abstract Nipah virus (NiV) is a non-segmented negative-strand RNA virus (nsNSV) with high pandemic potential, as it frequently causes zoonotic outbreaks and can be transmitted from human to human. Its

Abstract Aggregation intermediates play a pivotal role

Authors Cheng S, Schuh M Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2024 Nov 20;15(1):10044. Abstract In mammals, oocytes are arrested in prophase of meiosis I for long periods of time. Prophase arrest is critical for reproduction because it allows oocytes to grow to their full size to support meiotic maturation
