9 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
The beginning of embryogenesis is preceded by a sequence of events mediated by the release of intracellular calcium in the ooplasm, a multifaceted process known as oocyte activation. It is now well established that a sperm protein factor introduced into the oocyte at the time of gamete fusion is responsible for initiating the cascade of signaling events involved.
