HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Nunzia Limatola and colleagues from the Department of Research Infrastructures for Marine Biological Resources, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Napoli, Italy have published the research: Regulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton-Linked Ca2+ Signaling by Intracellular pH in Fertilized Eggs of Sea Urchin, in the Journal: Cells 2022, 1496 of 11/03/2022
- what: The authors have demonstrated that the incubation of unfertilized eggs in ammonia seawater induced considerable elongations of microvilli (containing actin filaments) as a consequence of the intracellular pH increase which increased the egg's receptivity to sperm and made the eggs polyspermic . . .
