Daniel Mazia
As a cell biologist, Daniel Mazia was known for his work on cell division. In the history of this field, eggs of sea urchins and other echinoderms have been favored material. Large numbers of the eggs, once fertilized will divide synchronously within an hour or so, thus providing abundant samples of cells at a given stage of the division process for any kind of analysis. Mazia's research program, while at Hopkins Marine Station, examined the nature of centrosomes, bodies which define the poles of the dividing cell and which direct the separation of the chromosomes into two nuclei. The studies included the examination of changes of centrosomes during the division cycle, the ways in which centrosomes move apart to form poles for division, and the formation of connections between centrosomes and chromosomes which assure the accurate separation of genetic material to the two daughter cells. Mazia's research included an analysis of artificial parthenogenesis (development of eggs without fertilization), which was discovered at Pacific Grove by Jacques Loeb at the beginning of the century. In normal fertilization, centrosomes are introduced by the sperm cell; it was thought that egg cells had no centrosomes.
