Dynamic blastomere behaviour reflects human embryo ploidy by the four-cell stage.

abstract：:The integration of β-barrel proteins into the bacterial outer membrane (OM) is catalysed by the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM). The central BAM subunit (BamA) itself contains a β-barrel domain that is essential for OM protein biogenesis, but its mechanism of action is unknown. To elucidate its function, here we dev...
