An investigation of primordial germ cell development in embryo and larvae of Huso huso
In sturgeons, Primordial Germ Cells originate from the vegetal pole of the egg. They migrate toward genital ridges during developmental stages and finally differentiate into gametes (the only cells that transmit genetic information). In this study, the cells were isolated from the place of migration of primordial germ cells in Huso huso’s larvae during two stages before and after absorption of ...
متن کاملMale 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 کاملPrimordial germ cell development in zebrafish.
In sexually reproducing organisms, primordial germ cells (PGCs) give rise to gametes that are responsible for the development of a new organism in the next generation. These cells follow a characteristic developmental path that is manifested in specialized regulation of basic cell functions and behavior making them an attractive system for studying cell fate specification, differentiation and m...
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 کاملModelling germ cell development in vitro
Germ cells have a critical role in mediating the generation of genetic diversity and transmitting this information across generations. Furthermore, gametogenesis is unique as a developmental process in that it generates highly-specialized haploid gametes from diploid precursor stem cells through meiosis. Despite the importance of this process, progress in elucidating the molecular mechanisms un...
