How does an early embryonic cell become committed to a particular path of development and differentiation? One of the current areas of investigation in invertebrate development concerns the respective roles of maternal and embryonic gene activities in setting up first general, then specific, pattern

Neuronal cell fates are specified by a hierarchy of events mediated by cell-intrinsic determinants and cell-cell interactions. The determination of cell fate can be subdivided into three general steps. First, cell fate is restricted by the cell's position in the animal. For example, neurons are spec
## Abstract Intercellular communication plays a pivotal role in regulating and coordinating oocyte meiosis and fertilization, key triggers for embryonic development. The nematode __Caenorhabaditis elegans__ has emerged as an important experimental paradigm for exploring these fundamental reproducti
