Most work on magnetic field effects focuses on AC fields. The present study demonstrates that exposure to medium-strength (10 mT -0.1 T) static magnetic fields can alter the early embryonic development of two species of sea urchin embryos. Batches of fertilized eggs from two species of urchin were e

The early divisions of sea urchin eggs was used as a model to study the effects of static and of 60 Hz sinusoidal magnetic fields. Two species were used (Sphaerechinus granularis and Paracentrotus lividus). Eggs were fertilized and exposed in two separate coils to the fields (up to 8 mT). Great care

## Abstract Recent findings suggested that the role of cysteine proteases would not be limited to protein degradation in lysosomes but would also play regulatory functions in more specific cell mechanisms. We analyzed here the role of these enzymes in the control of cell cycle during embryogenesis.
