Male germ cell development in humans.
BACKGROUND Germ cells are unique cells that possess the ability to transmit genetic information between generations. Detailed knowledge about the molecular and cellular mechanisms determining the fate of human male germ cells still remains sparse. This is partially due to ethical issues limiting the access to research material. Therefore, the mechanisms of proliferation, differentiation and apo...
متن کاملDynamics of male canine germ cell development
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are precursors of gametes that can generate new individuals throughout life in both males and females. Additionally, PGCs have been shown to differentiate into embryonic germ cells (EGCs) after in vitro culture. Most studies investigating germinative cells have been performed in rodents and humans but not dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). Here, we elucidated the dynami...
متن کاملNodal/Cripto signaling in fetal male germ cell development: implications for testicular germ cell tumors.
Testicular cancer is the most frequent cancer in young men aged 15-40 years and accounts for 1% of all cancer diagnosed in males. Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) encompass a broad group of cancers, each displaying different levels of pluripotency and differentiation as well as malignancy potential. The TGCT cell of origin is thought to be a fetal germ cell that failed to correctly differenti...
متن کاملGenetic and cellular analysis of male germ cell development.
The evolution of the germline has been studied for many decades. Although the pathway of germ cell primordial migration and the kinetic evolution of the gonocytes are well known, their genetic and cellular controls are poorly understood. Recently, a genetic approach using gene knockout and a cellular investigation using several germ cell culture models has allowed a better understanding of the ...
متن کاملMale germ cell gene expression.
Formation of the male gamete occurs in sequential mitotic, meiotic, and postmeiotic phases. Many germ cell-specific transcripts are produced during this process. Their expression is developmentally regulated and stage specific. Some of these transcripts are product of genes that are male germ cell-specific homologs of genes expressed in somatic cells, while some are expressed from unique genes ...
