Mechanisms of cell cycle remodeling at the MBT during the development of Xenopus laevis embryos

<p>During the early development of Xenopus laevis embryos, cells divide without checkpoints. At the midblastula transition (MBT), the cell cycle is remodeled as the division time lengthens and checkpoints are acquired. Initiation of the MBT depends upon the degradation of maternally supplied...
