This study shows that the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio affects the cell cycle period in frog egg extracts, with nuclei increasing in size and extending the cycle time.

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.

The paper models cell cycle oscillations in Xenopus laevis embryos, showing how bistable switches affect oscillation properties and confer robustness.
