Symmetry breaking in C. elegans: another gift from the sperm.

Daniel J Marston1, Bob Goldstein.   

Abstract

Polarization of the C. elegans embryo depends on the sperm-contributed centrosome, which cues a retraction of the actomyosin cortex to the opposite end of the embryo by an unknown mechanism. New evidence reveals that the sperm donates a second polarizing cue that may locally relax the actomyosin cortex near the point of sperm entry.
