Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms by which the germline is induced and maintained should lead to a broader understanding of the means by which pluripotency is acquired and maintained. In this review, two major aspects of male germ cell development are discussed: underlying mechanisms for induction and maintenance of primordial germ cells and the basic signaling pathways that determine spermatogonial cell fate.Mesh:
