Abstract |
The starfish oocyte and egg offer advantages for use as a model system for signal transduction research. Some of these have been recognized for over a century, including the ease of procuring gametes, in vitro fertilization, and culturing the embryos. New advances, particularly in genomics, have also opened up opportunities for the use of these animals. In this chapter, we give a few examples of the historical use of the starfish for research in cell biology and then describe some new areas in which we believe the starfish can contribute to our understanding of signal transduction-particularly in fertilization. |
