Germ cell lineage differentiation in non‐seminomatous germ cell tumours
4 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human germ cell tumours (GCTs) have long fascinated investigators for a number of reasons. Being pluripotential tumours, they can differentiate into both extra-embryonic and embryonic (somatic) tissues.
