Exacting Requirements for Development of the Egg.

The New England journal of medicine - 21 Jan 2016

Dean Jurrien

Abstract excerpt

The hallmark of successful human reproduction is the fusion between a haploid spermatozoon and a metaphase II oocyte. The generation of such an oocyte involves a series of steps whereby germinal-vesicle oocytes (in which the nuclei are intact) at prophase I are stimulated to resume meiosis and mature to metaphase II, a sequence of events that prepares the oocyte for fertilization. Meiosis in mammalian females...
