Egg cells need to store large amounts of proteins and other molecules to support the earliest stages of development. But how do they organize this supply? Egg cells have a dedicated storage system, ...
Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

A snapshot from a simulation of how microtubules bend and direct material in a maturing egg cell into a twister-like flow. Egg cells are the largest single cells on the planet. Their size — often ...
Who hasn't seen it before: the view through the microscope in which a sperm penetrates an egg cell and fertilizes it. This fundamental step in procreation happens dynamically and seemingly without ...
A human female is born with all the egg cells she will ever have. The possibility for the development of new oocytes is zero. Given this constraint, it is crucial that these gametes remain healthy and ...
An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has succeeded in generating haploids in the model plant ...
