F. Gebauer et Mw. Hentze, Fertility facts: Male and female germ cell development requires translational control by CPEB, MOL CELL, 8(2), 2001, pp. 247-249
In the August issue of Developmental Cell, Tay and Richter examine the cons
equences of eliminating CPEB function in mice. Their studies reveal an impo
rtant role for this translational regulator at the pachytene stage of germ
