I am participating in the 2026 #ReproBioArt contest by @SSRepro with the image below. It depicts the fascinating, unusual, and still largely misterious intracellular organization of a healthy human #egg. It's mind blowing to think that everyone of us looked like this! If you like it, please vote it here and repost: woobox.com/m89t4p/gallery/Sh… But be quick, there's only few days left to vote! And have a look at the whole gallery, there is plenty of other spectacular images! Thanks for your support!
