Rotating Nuclei (VIDEO)
Caption
The nuclei of dormant mouse egg cells can be seen to be rotating in this time-lapse microscope video taken over 30 minutes. Researchers from Kyushu University have linked this rotation to the mechanism that keeps the egg cells in a dormant state until needed so that the mice can have a long period of fertility.
