DOI: 10.1007/s10815-017-1006-3
Abstract: Early oocytes of nearly all animal species contain a transient organelle assemblage termed the Balbiani body. Structure and composition of this assemblage may vary even between closely related species. Despite this variability, the Balbiani body… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1006983
Abstract: Animal-vegetal (AV) polarity of most vertebrate eggs is established during early oogenesis through the formation and disassembly of the Balbiani Body (Bb). The Bb is a structure conserved from insects to humans that appears as… read more here.
