Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Vertebrate oocyte polarity has been observed for two centuries and is essential for embryonic axis formation and germline specification, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In oocyte polarization, critical RNA-protein (RNP) granules delivered to the oocyte’s vegetal pole, are stored by the Balbiani body (Bb), a membraneless organelle conserved across species from insects to humans.
