Finally out after a long lag since its preprint. Kudos to Jae Yeon for tackling tough protein purification during revision!

Thrilled to announce that the GRC Fertilization and Activation of Development and associated GRS will come to Europe for the first time in 2027!

Join us in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, 31 July–6 August 2027.

Mark your calendars and help us spread the word!

https://t.co/3GIEL2ZcAA First preprint from Bae Lab! An autism-linked ASPM variant drives macrocephaly ("large head"), excessive neurogenesis, brain hyperconnectivity & social-cognitive deficits. Making too many neurons—sometimes, that alone is the problem in autism.

Also opened a bluesky account with the same username. I’d appreciate your connection with me if you’re migrating and/or using both platforms.

In this study, we delineate CatSper’s assembly order and a binding surface for activity modulation, offering CatSper canopy as potential target for fertility control

Capping a 10-year-long adventure, in today's @CellCellPress we unveil the molecular mechanism whereby the fertilized egg permanently blocks polyspermy, a lethal condition for the embryo:
