Genetic and Epigenetic landscape of Germline Stem Cells
Elucidating the critical epigenetics events involved in differentiation and reprogramming of cells to primordial germ cells (PGCs) is among the interesting issues in stem cell research. Here, I will talk about critical transcription factors and global hypomethylation in development of germ cells. Evidence strongly suggests that the earliest PGCs emerging in the E7.25 mouse embryo epiblast have...
متن کاملGermline stem cells.
Stem cells support tissue maintenance by balancing self-renewal and differentiation. Germline stem cells (GSCs) belong to a kind of stem cells that are crucial to development and tissue homeostasis with their ability to both differentiate into gametes and maintain an undifferentiated state by their self-renewal property. The GSCs are unique in that they transmit genetic information from parent ...

متن کاملPluripotency of male germline stem cells.
The ethical issues and public concerns regarding the use of embryonic stem (ES) cells in human therapy have motivated considerable research into the generation of pluripotent stem cell lines from non-embryonic sources. Numerous reports have shown that pluripotent cells can be generated and derived from germline stem cells (GSCs) in mouse and human testes during in vitro cultivation. The gene ex...
متن کاملMaintaining the male germline: regulation of spermatogonial stem cells.
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are a self-renewing population of adult stem cells capable of producing progeny cells for sperm production throughout the life of the male. Regulation of the SSC population includes establishment and maintenance of a niche microenvironment in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Signaling from somatic cells within the niche determines the fate of SSCs by eith...
