Treatment of Germ Cell Testicular Cancer
Germ-cell testicular cancer (GCTC) is a malignant neoplasm derived from the primordial germ cell. Although it accounts for approximately 1% of all malignancies in men, it is the most common cancer of younger male population, with the highest incidence ...

Surgical treatment of metastatic germ cell cancer
Among young men between the ages of 15 and 40 years, germ cell cancer is the most common solid tumor [1]. The worldwide incidence of germ cell cancer is 70 000 cases.

Germ cell markers in fishes - A review
Identification of germ cell markers in fishes is crucial to track the germ cell differentiation and migration for manipulation of the cells to study sexual differentiation as well as to carry out transgenic transplantation techniques.

Strategies for Mammalian Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiation into Primordial Germ Cell-Like Cells: A Review [PDF]
Primordial germ cells develop into oocytes and sperm cells. These cells are useful resources in reproductive biology and regenerative medicine. The mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been examined for in vitro production of primordial germ cell-like ...

Zebrafish as a Model for Germ Cell Regeneration
Germ cell acts as a link between transfer of genetic information and process of species evolution. Defects or malformations of germ cells can lead to infertility or tumors.

Functional analysis of the Drosophila embryonic germ cell transcriptome by RNA interference. [PDF]
In Drosophila melanogaster, primordial germ cells are specified at the posterior pole of the very early embryo. This process is regulated by the posterior localized germ plasm that contains a large number of RNAs of maternal origin.

Tracing the cellular basis of islet specification in mouse pancreas
The cellular basis of islet morphogenesis and fate allocation remain unclear. Here, the authors use a R26-CreER-R26R-Confetti mouse line to follow quantitatively the clonal dynamics of islet formation showing how, during the secondary transition, islet ...

Effect of FSH on testicular morphology and spermatogenesis in gonadotrophin-deficient hypogonadal mice lacking androgen receptors [PDF]
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and androgen act to stimulate and maintain spermatogenesis. FSH acts directly on the Sertoli cells to stimulate germ cell number and acts indirectly to increase androgen production by the Leydig cells.

Rare Intracranial Multifocal Non-Germinomatous Germ Cell Tumor in an 18-Year-Old Male: A Case Report
Intracranial germ cell tumors are rare brain tumors that are distinguished based on their histology and selected tumor markers. Non-germinomatous germ cell tumors are a diverse group of such tumors having the poorest prognosis.
