    Genetic selection of peptide aptamers that recognize and inhibit cyclin-dependent kinase 2

    A NETWORK of interacting proteins controls the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) (refs 1, 2) and governs the entry of higher eukaryotic cells into S phase. Analysis of this and other genetic regulat...

    The oocyte metaphase arrest

    Usually, oocyte meiosis reinitiation appears as a two step process during which release from the prophase block is followed by a second arrest in metaphase I or II. In this review, we will examine the mechanis...
