To advance the field of chemical biology, Superti-Furga and assistant professor Ulrike Eggert of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the department of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology ...

The structure of the spermatozoa and spermatogenesis of the lottiid limpet Patelloida latistrigata is described by transmission electron microscopy. Although the lengths of the spermatozoa (about 60 ...

ABSTRACT: A series of laboratory experiments was conducted to determine fertilization success in the commercial abalone Haliotis tuberculata L. Fertilization success is a function of sperm dilution, ...

My case study for Bio 209 was entitled “Deep Carbon Export from a Southern Ocean Iron-Fertilized Diatom Bloom” by Victor Smetacek, et al, published in 2012. This study was centered on the idea of iron ...

Researchers have uncovered a developmental switch needed to activate global transcriptional silencing, a key step needed for the fertilization of eggs. Zfp36L2 acts as a switch toward the end of ...

Human bodies have to be built from a single egg cell that's fertilized by a sperm cell. Many rounds of cell division occur as the body is developing, and it seems that there are plenty of chances for ...

The ability of chemists to synthesize molecules has been invaluable to biological research. As a result, the development and application of chemical tools for gaining molecular-level insights into ...

Nearly 20 years after the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute became the first to produce an Eld’s deer fawn through artificial insemination, SCBI scientists have now contributed to the birth ...
