Germ cell development and oogenesis represent central processes in the reproduction of invertebrates, exhibiting remarkable diversity in cellular architecture, developmental mechanisms and functional ...

Avian germ cell development stands at the forefront of reproductive and biotechnological research, encapsulating the complex journey of primordial germ cells (PGCs) from early embryogenesis to their ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Researchers have uncovered a complex biological process that protects germ cells, the precursor cells to sperm, from genetic ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...
