Premeiotic origin of teratomas: is meiosis required for differentiation into mature tissues?

Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex.) - 1 Nov 2005

Abstract excerpt

By virtue of meiotic cell division, primordial germ cells with heterozygous alleles develop into postmeiotic germ cells with homozygous alleles. Female and male germ cells may develop tumors--so-called teratomas--with a unique coexistence of a variety of histological elements from all three embryonic germ layers. In particular, mature teratomas consist exclusively of developmentally mature tissues whereas...
