What are the challenges in studying human germ cell development directly, and how can we overcome these limitations using alternative approaches?

The most common CNS germ cell tumour is the germinoma. The other germ cell tumours, broadly referred to as non-geminomatous germ cell tumours are embryonal ... Germ cell tumors in the brain can cause the following symptoms: Increased fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus)Hormonal imbalance, including early or delayed ... Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are made up of these underdeveloped cells. These tumors are rare. They may be cancer (malignant) or not cancer (benign). We investigated this phenomenon using live-cell imaging and discovered that ectopic germ cells preferentially induce body-wall muscle to extend cellular ... Qiaolin Deng is studying this migration and maturation to learn more about infertility, epigenetic inheritance and cancer. Germ cell tumours of the central nervous system (CNS GCT) represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasms including germinoma, endodermal sinus tumour. (yolk sac ... Germ cells are used to produce human reproductive sex cells called gametes. Germ cells can either be diploid, or haploid (containing half the diploid chromosome ... Oct 31, 2022 ... "Not many people truly appreciate the crazy mystery of how germ cells have lasted 1.5 billion years," Whitehead Institute Member Yukiko Yamashita says. Germ line refers to the sex cells (eggs and sperm) that sexually reproducing organisms use to pass on their genomes from one generation to the next. ... germ cell. Germ cells are the cells that make the eggs (ova) in females and the sperm in males. Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are made up of these underdeveloped ...
