Turning germ cells into stem cells.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Oct 2003

Donovan Peter J, de Miguel Maria P

Abstract excerpt

Primordial germ cells (PGCs), the embryonic precursors of the gametes of the adult animal, can give rise to two types of pluripotent stem cells. In vivo, PGCs can give rise to embryonal carcinoma cells, the pluripotent stem cells of testicular tumors. Cultured PGCs exposed to a specific cocktail of growth factors give rise to embryonic germ cells, pluripotent stem cells that can contribute to all the lineages of...
