Examples of meiotic

meiotic
Maturation is complete when the second meiotic division is arrested at metaphase where the egg will await fertilisation.
Non-fertilised eggs arrested in the second meiotic metaphase were also observed.
In the primordial follicle oocytes reach the dictyate stage of prophase 1, at which point meiotic arrests occurs.
Common genomic rearrangements arise through unequal meiotic recombination and result in complex but distinct behavioural and cognitive phenotypes.
This would then provide a 'less competent' model for mouse meiotic maturation in vitro.
The role of calcium in progesterone-induced meiotic maturation in amphibian oocytes remains unclear.
Factors influencing resumption of meiotic maturation and cumulus expansion of porcine oocyte-cumulus cell complexes in vitro.
Stage-specific changes in protein phosphorylation accompanying meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes and fertilization of mouse eggs.
The resumption of meiotic maturation can be triggered also after the liberation of the oocytes from their follicles in vitro.
The c-mos proto-oncogene product is a cytostatic factor responsible for meiotic arrest in vertebrates eggs.
In conclusion, somatic cell nuclei are unable to go through meiotic division when introduced into oocyte meiotic cytoplasm, partly due to the abnormal kinetochore distribution.
In conclusion, the results of this study suggest a positive paracrine effect of co-cultured cumulus cells on meiotic maturation.
It is concluded that careful attention to specific energy substrate supplementation and culture volume is important to optimise spontaneous meiotic maturation in vitro.
Regulation of meiotic metaphase by a cytoplasmic maturation promoting factor during mouse oocyte maturation.
At first sight, this may indicate a role for the 'elimination chromatin' in the organisation of the second meiotic spindle.
