Human eggs are some of the most patient cells in the body, lying dormant for decades until needed. A study published in The EMBO Journal shows that the cells deliberately slow the activity of their ...
Human eggs possess an incredible resilience, staying dormant for up to decades until called upon. A recent study reveals how they achieve this longevity: by deliberately slowing down their internal ...

A human female is born with all the egg cells she will ever have. The possibility for the development of new oocytes is zero. Given this constraint, it is crucial that these gametes remain healthy and ...

Human eggs stay dormant for decades by slowing down their waste disposal systems, according to new research involving over 100 freshly donated eggs. This clever energy-saving strategy appears to help ...
An immature human oocyte fixed and immunolabeled with intracellular organelles markers. Mitochondria are shown in orange, the endoplasmic reticulum is shown in lilac, and the actin cytoskeleton is ...
