Synopsis

Based on the proceedings of a symposium held by the Society for the Study of Fertility and the British Society for Developmental Biology at the University of Warwick, this book covers the recent work on the role of the cellular signals in achieving successful fertilization in mammals. Cell messengers regulate sperm motility and the path of the sperm in the vicinity of the egg that initiates the acrosome reaction and the onset of development. Fertilization in invertebrates, such as starfish, sea-urchin and frog gametes and its similiarity and relevance to mammalian fertilization are also discussed.
