Mechanistic model for MTOC maturation in GV oocytes. The MTOC (grey) activates near the oocyte cortex, which requires recruitment of CKAP5 and TACC3. After activation, MTOC migrates to the nuclear ...

A picture of a mouse MII stage eggs with the location of chromosomes (green) and the distribution of the histone modification H3K4me3 (purple). The team confirmed that H3K4me3 was significantly ...

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 ...

Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation. Researchers have demonstrated that a protein complex called the exocyst ...

This study presents useful findings regarding the role of formin-like 2 in mouse oocyte meiosis. Some of the data are supported by incomplete methodological details and analyses, and several ...

You can change your mouse DPI, or its sensitivity, pretty quickly in both Windows and macOS -- and many top gaming mice can do it with a simple press of a button. This can be a great way to boost ...

The accumulation of misfolded or damaged proteins in long-lived, non-dividing cells like neurons are linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. A study now finds that the build-up of these ...
