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...

Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants - Nature Genetics A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

Here's 123 new bryophyte genomes for you!
Apparently, bryophytes time and again include microbial genes in their genomic repertoire, and occupy a langer gene space than vascular plants.

A flyer for the MBL's 2025 Physiology course, which runs from June 8 to July 27. Applications are due February 3. Founded in 1892, the Physiology course is one of the oldest continually running biology courses in the world!

🗣️ Physiologists, rejoice! Thought you missed the deadline for the 2025 Physiology course at MBL? Don't toss out that application draft—you can now apply through February 3.

Happy New Year! Happy to be able to share this preprint, a long awaited model of symplasmic transport applied to multiple tissue geometries and root organ for predictive signalling gradients. Kudos to genius Eva Deinum and @VGrieneisen www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Mitochondria consist of networks of cylindrical tubes, right? Not necessarily! - in our new preprint, @gavsturm.bsky.social investigates how mitochondria transiently adopt a beads-on-a-string morphology

Stoked to share TWO preprints on mitochondrial pearling! 🎉
We uncover how spontaneous #mitochondria pearling drives #mtDNA nucleoid distribution (doi.org/10.1101/2024...), and
@gavsturm.bsky.social
et al. dissect the biophysics behind it (doi.org/10.1101/2024...). Details below! 🔬🧵🧪

I would love to join! I study intercellular communication in Physo and have just joined Bluesky
