The paper examines temperature scaling in the early embryonic cell cycle across multiple species, finding similar activation energies and explaining deviations using computational models and experimental data.

The paper observes a transition from phase waves to trigger waves in Xenopus egg extracts and shows how these waves coordinate the cell cycle over long distances.

This study shows that cell cycle oscillations in Xenopus egg cytoplasm are robust to density changes but switch between oscillatory and stable states in a hysteresis loop.
