Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Research into the cell biology of mammalian fertilization has been stimulated by the desire to provide a theoretical framework for the development of novel approaches to contraception and the need to understand the cellular basis of human infertility. The results of such studies have revealed a complex cascade of interactions initiated by the contact between capacitated spermatozoa on the oocyte-cumulus complex and culminating in sperm-oocyte fusion. In this review we shall examine our current understanding of the fertilization process, highlighting the strategic importance of recent findings and key areas where information is lacking. |
