Research Interest

Starfish and oyster oocytes provide a great opportunity to study the cytological events of meiotic progression, fertilization, and cell division. Eggs passing through these phases exhibit an accelerated remodeling of actin cytoskeleton and transient variations in intracellular calcium levels. In recent years, our research activity is mainly focused on the mutual influence of intracellular calcium signals and cytoskeleton actinum, which are monitored by the use of fluorinated microinjected egg probes for displaying free calcium changes, of actin filaments, and various exogenous proteins that interfere with the normal regulation of the actin cytoskeleton.Astropecten orange cube ) will allow deregulation of the intracellular signal of calcium and cytoskeleton.
