From Sperm and Egg to Embryo Fertilization: Sperm/Egg Recognition and Contact Close encounters of the zygotic kind Fertilization: Activation of Development How does the egg respond to fertilization? Reproductive Technology: Advances in the Regulation of Human Fertility Developmental biology in the bedrooms of the nation Cleavage How are the building blocks of the embryo produced? Initiating the Embryonic Body Plan: Polarization of the Xenopus Embryo Frogs have rights (and lefts), too. Initiating the Embryonic Body Plan: Dorsalization of the Xenopus Embryo What is the role of the wingless pathway in dorsalization? Overview of the role of ß-catenin in specification of the dorsal-ventral axis of Xenopus Essay by Randall Moon Initiating the Embryonic Body Plan: Left-right Asymmetry OK, so symmetry isn't perfect.
