npub1h9em3v9p0wmde9u7alfr79jk4hzje3mdx7gkpzp36yy64lf4tjdsr0r7yr (npub1h9e…r7yr) reports: "The team found that three proteins on the sperm join to form a sort of key that unlocks the egg, allowing the sperm to attach. Their findings, drawn from studies in zebrafish, mice, and human cells, show how this process has persisted over millions of years of evolution. Results were published Thursday in the journal Cell."
