Microbes control Drosophila germline stem cell increase and egg maturation through hormonal pathways
Communications Biology, 2023 Reproduction is highly dependent on environmental and physiological factors including nutrition, mating stimuli and microbes. Among these factors, microbes facilitate vital functions for host animals such as nutritional intake, metabolic regulation, and ...

Germ Cell Drivers: Transmission of Preconception Stress Across Generations
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Exposure to stress can accelerate maturation and hasten reproduction. Although potentially adaptive, the trade-off is higher risk for morbidity and mortality.

Progress in germline stem cell transplantation in mammals and the potential usage
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2022 Germline stem cells (GSCs) are germ cells with the capacities of self-renewal and differentiation into functional gametes, and are able to migrate to their niche and reconstitute the fertility of recipients after transplantation.

HDAC1 SUMOylation promotes Argonaute-directed transcriptional silencing in C. elegans
eLife, 2021 Eukaryotic cells use guided search to coordinately control dispersed genetic elements. Argonaute proteins and their small RNA cofactors engage nascent RNAs and chromatin-associated proteins to direct transcriptional silencing.

Germline predisposition to glial neoplasms in children and young adults: A narrative review
Glioma, 2021 Gliomas are the most common malignancies of the central nervous system (CNS). A significant proportion of both low- and high-grade gliomas in children, adolescents, and young adults have specific genetic events which can be traced to the germline ...

The Piwil1 N domain is required for germ cell survival in Atlantic salmon
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Genetic introgression of farmed salmon into wild populations can damage the genetic integrity of wild stocks and is therefore considered as an environmental threat. One possible solution is to induce sterility in farmed salmon.
