Single-cell proteomics enables discoveries! It illuminates the frontiers of biomedical research.
Our latest article is out in Cell ! Together with the @MZG_Lab, we show that fertilization triggers proteomic asymmetry in mammalian zygotes, giving rise to alpha vs. beta 2-cell blastomeres with distinct developmental potential. https://t.co/F6IUjJlccg
