Periodicity of Cytoplasmic Cycle in Nonnucleate Fragments of Sea Urchin and Starfish Eggs* is a research paper published in Development, Growth & Differentiation (1985). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.848. It has been cited 9 times, with 9 citing works in its 1-hop citation network.
Fertilized eggs of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus and the starfish, Asterina pectinifera were separated by manual bisection to obtain pairs of nucleate and non‐nucleate fragments. Simultaneous observation on the pair revealed that the cyclic change in the cortical tension in the non‐nucleate fragment was definitely prolonged than the cleavage interval of nucleate partner by about 30%. Activated non‐nucleate cytoplasmic fragments derived from the unfertilized eggs and colchicine treated whole eggs of H. pulcherrimus still showed the same degree of prolongation.

DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 41% comes from its base citations and 59% from the citation network (9 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
