During oogenesis the oocyte is arrested in meiosis twice. First at prophase I, then a second time at metaphase I in many invertebrates and in metaphase II in the vast majority of vertebrates. Meiosis resumption is triggered by the sperm. This article examines mechanisms that cause oocytes' arrest in

After almost a century of research, we have yet to solve the riddle of the mast cell. Whereas little was known about this cell for most of this time span, more facts have been gathered recently than seem to be reconcilable within a single unified concept of mast cell function. Anatomical observatio
In order to do any sort of computer processing of the images produced by an electron microscope they have to be digitized. Therefore, any form of microscopy that involves computer processing has to be considered as digital microscopy independently of whether the original images were recorded on film
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid metabolite that induces the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) through binding to the G protein-coupled receptor in a number of cell lines and cultures. Recent studies have revealed that LPA is able to rapidly induce the phosphorylation of MA
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) are potent phospholipid mediators with diverse biological activities. Their appearance and functional properties suggest possible roles in development, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. The growth-stimulating and other complex biolo
The facultative intracellular pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium faces multiple environments during infection, including different cell types as well as extracellular fluids. We propose that Salmonella ascertains its cellular location by assessing the Mg 2ฯฉ concentration of its milieu.
