To celebrate Reproduction’s continued Q1 status and rising rankings in Developmental Biology and Reproductive Biology, we have compiled a special collection of the 10 most cited articles that contributed to this year’s Impact Factor. 🔗rep.bioscientifica.com/page/impact-fa…

Think size doesn’t matter? Think again. In the extracellular vesicles (EVs) world: "Not All Vesicles Are Created Equal - Size Matters!" From caput to cauda, these little guys are anything but uniform. Now published in @ReprodJournal Full story: doi.org/10.1530/REP-25…]

Check out this latest research by Vipul Batra @sheffielduni et al. looking into how extracellular vesicles differ across the male reproductive tract in mice, highlighting key region-specific differences in size, abundance and protein markers. 🔗Read here: doi.org/10.1530/REP-25…

📢WHO – The X and Y. WHEN – Since the beginning. HOW - From a distance Mansi @labyrinthine_27 highlights a #preprint from @lab_turner @TheCrick on the early impact of sex chromosomes in preimplantation mouse embryos. 👀 ⤵️ prelights.biologists.com/highlights/sex…

Fantastic PhD opportunity available in our lab @roslininstitute @EdinUni_IRR @EdinUni_CRH looking at the role of the #microbiome in menstrual physiology & health. I am excited about this one! Please share :) findaphd.com/phds/project/c… @JackieMaybin @Microbes4ever

🤔 What causes #PregnancyLoss after euploid embryo transfers? 🧬 This study (shorturl.at/TFeij) analyses 2041 euploid frozen embryo transfers to explore whether clinical and/or embryological factors play a role. #Fertility #IVF #PregnancyLoss #RaFJC

Last few days before closing deadline for a postodoctoral position in our lab. If you like #germcell biology, we have a great project to work on in vitro #gametogenesis. Click here for details: jobs.ac.uk/job/DKP239/res…

Out now in @PNASNews Subchronic elevation in ambient temperature drives alterations to the sperm epigenome and accelerates early embryonic development in mice pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Led by @NATrigg & @BrettNixon13 with contribution from many others @HMRIAustralia @UON_research

🚨New Early Career blog post available on the SRF website! 🚨 ‘A Fruitful Failure Fable’ by Dr Vipul Batra. Vipul talks about the importance of failure in research and what we learn from it. An important and heartwarming read for all ECR's! #science #academia #blogging

We just need 3 more women to take part before the end of October please, thanks so much to those who have already...there is a £35 amazon voucher for all participants to say THANK YOU!! @nottmhospitals @NottmMaternity @nottsobsdocs @NuhRcm @SandsUK please RT 😇

I’m currently advertising a 3 year funded PhD studentship opportunity in my laboratory. Project is on ovarian ageing. Please see below link for further project info and details on how to apply. RTs appreciated! kcl.ac.uk/study-legacy/f… @SRF_Repro @lifecourse_KCL

Why some women are taking a cold remedy to help them get pregnant - and what the evidence says. @AdamWatkins78 @MedicineUoN @UoNFacultyMHS writes @conversationUk about the latest TikTok trend Read more ▶️ ow.ly/WU9Z50TLtvo

A shared set of old, deeply conserved genes presides over the development of sperm cells in humans, mice and fruit flies. elifesciences.org/digests/95774/…

@CTamessar from @UON_research @HMRIAustralia paper on the influence of seminal fluid extracellular vesicles (SFEV) on sperm function now published. Here we show that SFEVs deliver cargo to sperm to elicit subtle changes to their function@Repro_Fertility url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/lZSZC2xMX0TB…

Excited to have this published! We identify a subset of microRNAs acquired by sperm from the epididymal epithelium that regulate gene expression in preimplantation embryos > cell.com/cell-reports/f… Huge thanks to @ColinConine for the support and guidance during this project

📢We are hiring motivated postdocs to study in vitro #gametogenesis. If you like #stemcells and #embryos this is the job for you. For details click here: jobs.ac.uk/job/DJC616/res… @UoNBiosciences
