Cnidarian oocytes reveal conserved actin-driven mechanisms of female meiosis
Oocyte meiosis is a specialized form of cell division adapted to produce a single haploid egg for fertilization. Diverse actin-driven mechanisms have essential roles in supporting these highly asymmetric divisions of the large oocyte. Whether these represent exotic adaptations in individual species or whether actin has broadly conserved functions in animal oocytes remains unclear. To address…
