The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the next generation. Now, researchers from Kyushu University have demonstrated ...

One characteristic of oocyte development and physiology that has been a mystery for 60 years is the highly present cytoplasmic lattices within the cytoplasm of mammalian oocytes. These were initially ...
