Recent discoveries on the delivery of small- and large-size molecules and organelles to the oocytes/eggs from external sources, such as surrounding somatic cells, body fluids, and sperm, change our understanding of female germ cells' (oocytes and eggs) self-containment and individuality. In this chapter, we will summarize present-day knowledge on sources and presumptive functions of different types of exogenous molecules and organelles delivered to the animal oocytes and eggs.
近期关于从外部来源(如周围体细胞、体液和精子)向卵母细胞/卵子递送小分子、大分子及细胞器的发现,改变了我们对雌性生殖细胞(卵母细胞和卵子)自我封闭性和个体性的理解。在本章中,我们将总结目前有关递送至动物卵母细胞和卵子的不同类型外源分子及细胞器的来源和假定功能的知识。
