title: [The egg-cell of Edouard Van Beneden and molecular embryology].
abstract: Embryology started in the XIXe eeuw as a morphological study. Edouard Van Beneden contributed largely to its development through his works on the female sexual cell and on the development of the tunicates. But since 1985 the new era of molecular embryology is opening. Large therapeutic applications will be available in the near feature.
