Inositol trisphosphate is a second messenger that controls many cellular processes by
generating internal calcium signals. It operates through receptors whose molecular and …

Fertilization calcium waves are introduced, and the evidence from which we can infer
general mechanisms of these waves is presented. The two main classes of hypotheses put …

We have investigated the feedback control that prevents cells with incompletely assembled
spindles from leaving mitosis. We isolated budding yeast mutants sensitive to the anti …

Cellular interactions in the mammalian ovarian follicle between its germ‐line and somatic
cell components are crucial for its development and function. These interactions are …

Few well-controlled diet studies have investigated the effects of reducing dietary saturated
fatty acid (SFA) intake in premenopausal and postmenopausal women or in blacks. We …

Cells possess various mechanisms for transducing external signals to intracellular
responses. The discovery of inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) as a messenger for …

The cell division cycle of the early sea urchin embryo is basic. Nonetheless, it has control
points in common with the yeast and mammalian cell cycles, at START, mitosis ENTRY and …

Progress through the cell mitotic cycle requires precise timing of the intrinsic molecular steps
and tight coordination with the environmental signals that maintain a cell into the proper …

In most animals, the development of the immature oocyte into a fertilizable gamete, a
process known as oocyte maturation, involves an arrest in the meiotic cell cycle while …

Introduction 1988 was a golden year for cell cycle studies. A dramatic simplification of the
confusing variety of genetic and biochemical approaches in a wide variety of organisms …
