Lighting the fuse at fertilization

1993-01-01

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT In most deuterostome eggs, fertilization is marked by an abrupt and transient increase in intracellular calcium concentration The transient takes the form of a propagating wave and is the signal for the onset of development For those interested in cell signalling, the two obvious questions to ask are how the wave is initiated and how it propagates through the egg cytoplasm Answers have come largely from e...
