Abstract excerpt
Female zebrafish have a prolific reproductive capacity, suggesting that a germline stem cell (GSC) population drives oocyte production. However, a zebrafish female GSC population has yet to be identified. Adult stem cells are defined by their ability to both self-renew and differentiate, and by their localization to a stem cell niche. We show here that mitotic and early meiotic germ cells are present in the adult...
