Cytoplasmic lattices are a highly abundant and essential structure in mouse oocytes and embryos. Our in situ structure from early mouse embryos provides a new insight into their molecular achitecture and function. Check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share our work on the structure and function of cytoplasmic lattices within mouse embryos. A collaborative effort with @niakanlab.bsky.social and work led by @kashishsingh.bsky.social and @inaharasimov.bsky.social . It is now out on BioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
