Primordial germ cells: the first cell lineage or the last cells standing? (2015)
Journal Article
Johnson, A. D., & Alberio, R. (in press). Primordial germ cells: the first cell lineage or the last cells standing?. Development, 142, https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.113993

Embryos of many animal models express germ line determinants that suppress transcription and mediate early germ line commitment, which occurs before the somatic cell lineages are established. However, not all animals segregate their germ line in this... Read More about Primordial germ cells: the first cell lineage or the last cells standing?.

Actin depolymerization is associated with meiotic acceleration in cycloheximide-treated ovine oocytes (2015)
Journal Article
German, S. D., Lee, J.-H., Campbell, K. H., Sweetman, D., & Alberio, R. (in press). Actin depolymerization is associated with meiotic acceleration in cycloheximide-treated ovine oocytes. Biology of Reproduction, 92(4), https://doi.org/10.1095/biolreprod.114.122341

Oocytes treated with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) arrest at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage and undergo accelerated GV breakdown (GVBD) after CHX is removed. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism of accelerate... Read More about Actin depolymerization is associated with meiotic acceleration in cycloheximide-treated ovine oocytes.
