※ Balbiani body introduction

    The Balbiani body is a structure conserved from insects to humans that appears as a large granule, similar to a mRNP granule composed of mRNA and proteins (1). It has amyloid-like properties and can connect cortical actin (1). In addition, Wilsch-Bräuninger et al. suggest that the sponge bodies, a subcellular structure in nurse cells and oocytes, are homologous to the mitochondrial cloud in Xenopus oocytes (2).
