Our story from @oestlab.bsky.social studying the levels of small RNA (sRNA) in sperm from IVF is finally out in @natcomms.nature.com! We wanted to understand whether there are specific sperm sRNA important for male fertility, and it turns out there are 🤯

Small RNA in sperm–Paternal contributions to human embryo development
Nature Communications - Sperm delivers not only the paternal genome but also regulatory sRNAs. Here they show that sRNAs, including miRNAs and Y-RNAs, correlate with sperm concentration,...

New from the lab led by @natrigg.bsky.social. We started by characterizing mRNA in sperm, EVs, and the epithelium across epididymal transit. This revealed evidence that sperm acquire specific mRNAs through fusion with epididymal EVs, which we further established with in vitro co-incubation assays
Epididymal extracellular vesicles harbor and convey mRNA to sperm for transfer to zygotes https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.18.670952v1

Very nice resources for arguing that studying flies is a good investment
Dear GenZ members of the #Drosophila community! You are needed to make cool fly research viral in your social media world! As a boomer I do not understand that sphere, but I can consult and contribute our enormous fund of outreach resources: droso4public.wordpress.com. Please, get in contact!

I attended Epichrome for the first time as a bachelor student in 2021. Yesterday, I presented our latest research on sperm-borne mitochondrial small RNAs and their role in intergenerational metabolic responses at Epichrome in Stockholm! Exciting times, looking forward to what´s to come!

We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.
URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯
Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below.
This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate.
