The histologic features of intratubular germ cell neoplasia and its correlation with tumor behavior [PDF]
Purpose: To assess the prevalence of intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCN) in patients with concurrent testis tumor and its correlation with histologic features and serum tumor markers.

Primary Germ Cell Tumors of the Mediastinum: 10 Years of Experience in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital
Germ cell tumors occur mostly in the gonad. Extragonadal germ cell tumors are rare, and most occur in the retroperitoneum and mediastinum. Primary mediastinal germ cell tumors are often found in the anterior portion of the mediastinum and include ...

Identification of side population cells in mouse primordial germ cells and prenatal testis [PDF]
In mammals, the stem cells of spermatogenesis are derived from an embryonic cell population called primordial germ cells (PGCs). Spermatogonial stem cells displaying the "side population" (SP) phenotype have been identified in the immature and adult ...

Hematopoietic progenitors express embryonic stem cell and germ layer genes [PDF]
Cell therapy for tissue regeneration requires cells with high self-renewal potential and with the capacity to differentiate into multiple differentiated cell lineages, like embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult somatic cells induced to pluripotency (iPSCs) by genetic manipulation.

Pure Embryonal Cell Carcinoma: A Rare Entity [PDF]
Malignancy of the testes constitutes only one percent of all male cancers. Most testicular malignancies are Germ Cell Tumours (GCTs), which are broadly categorised into seminomatous and non-seminomatous types. Non seminomatous GCTs are further classified

Primate Primordial Germ Cells Acquire Transplantation Potential by Carnegie Stage 23. [PDF]
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the earliest embryonic progenitors in the germline. Correct formation of PGCs is critical to reproductive health as an adult.

Giant Mediastinal Germ Cell Tumour: An Enigma of Surgical Consideration
We present a case of 16-year-old male, who was referred from private centre for dyspnoea, fatigue, and orthopnea. The chest radiograph revealed complete opacification of left chest which was confirmed by computed tomography as a large left mediastinal ...

Specific detection of OCT3/4 isoform A/B/B1 expression in solid (germ cell) tumours and cell lines: Confirmation of OCT3/4 specificity for germ cell tumours [PDF]
Background: OCT3/4 (POU5F1) is an established diagnostic immunohistochemical marker for specific histological variants of human malignant germ cell tumours (GCTs), including the seminomatous types and the stem cell component of non-seminomas, known as ...

Evaluating Human Embryonic Germ Cells: Concord and Conflict as Pluripotent Stem Cells
AbstractThe realization of cell replacement therapy derived from human pluripotent stem cells requires full knowledge of the starting cell types as well as their differentiated progeny. Alongside embryonic stem cells, embryonic germ cells (EGCs) are an alternative source of pluripotent stem cell. Since 1998, four groups have described the derivation of
