Guidance of primordial germ cell migration by the chemokine SDF-1 (2002)
Doitsidou, M., Reichman-Fried, M., Stebler, J., Koeprunner, M., Doerries, J., Meyer, D., ...
The signals directing primordial germ cell (PGC) migration in vertebrates are largely unknown. We demonstrate that sdf-1 mRNA is expressed in locations where PGCs are found and toward which they...

Migration of primordial germ cells (PGCs) from their site of specification towards the developing gonad is controlled by directional cues from somatic tissues. Although in several animals the PGCs...

An important mechanism for the specification and development of the animal germ line is the localization of specific molecules to the germ plasm [1]. Restriction of these molecules to the germ line...
