This study shows tetraploid C. elegans embryos have greater osmotic tolerance due to compositional changes that buffer volume fluctuations.

This study shows that cytoplasmic RNAs in Xenopus laevis eggs facilitate rapid pronucleus assembly by remodeling sperm chromatin through electrical interactions.

The paper shows that yolk platelets slow nuclear expansion in Xenopus embryos by hindering endoplasmic reticulum membrane supply to the nucleus.
