The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the ...

In a study published in Cell Research, a research team has, for the first time, resolved the high-resolution in situ ...

This resource article describes the comprehensive stage-resolved phosphoproteome and proteome landscape of mouse oocytes, and reveals novel molecular mechanisms controlling meiotic maturation. The ...

the authors said that their method of reconstituting multiple steps in the development of female germ cells may help to clarify the molecular mechanisms of primate oocyte development and could one ...

The germinal vesicle breakdown and the first polar body extrusion are two critical processes during oocyte maturation, and the molecular mechanisms for regulating both GVBD and polar body extrusion ...

The mammalian oocyte maturation quality is critical for successful fertilization and following early embryo development, any errors will lead to birth defects. The oocytes undergo meiosis I and ...

In a study that started at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular ... mechanism that monitors the whole process," Dr. Tachibana said. She adds that there is no further development ...

genetic transfer from mother to offspring is controlled by two mechanisms, first, during the development of the egg (oocyte), and later during the early stages of embryonic development.

and suggest that oocyte maturation and ovulation and their underlying molecular mechanisms are regulated in both a species-specific and evolutionarily conserved fashion.” In the Discussion section: ...
