What is the blood-testis barrier?

Researchers in the Regenerative Neurosurgery and Neuro-Oncology Lab are exploring why marrow-derived cell lines form tumors after transplantation. Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are made up of these underdeveloped cells. These tumors are rare. They may be cancer (malignant) or not cancer (benign). Tumors that start in specialized cells called germ cells. Symptoms include a lump, swelling, and/or pain in the affected body part, difficulty breathing, cough. CNS germ cell tumors typically form near the pineal gland or the pituitary gland, though they can form in other parts of the brain. The symptoms they produce ... Germ-line cells are responsible for transmitting genetic information and for reproducing totipotency from generation to generation. Pluripotent stem cell lines, ...

We generated a gene-edited chicken, in which germ cells can be ablated in a drug-dependent manner, as recipients for gene-edited PGC transfer. (jerm sel) A cell that develops into a reproductive cell, which is an egg in females and a sperm in males. Provides guidance on controversial issues surrounding the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of early- and late-stage testicular cancer.
