Question: Do somatic cells make gametes? Sperm and egg: Gametes or gametic cells are sperm cells in men and egg cells, or ovum, in women. The sperm is the smallest cell in the human body. The ovum is the largest cell found in the human body. ...
Testicular development and function rely on interactions between somatic cells and the germline, but similar to other organs, regenerative capacity declines in aging and disease. Whether the adult testis maintains a reserve progenitor population remains uncertain. Here, we characterize a recently identified...
Maintaining biodiversity is an essential task, but storing germ cells as genetic resources using liquid nitrogen is difficult, expensive, and easily disrupted during disasters. Our aim is to generate cloned mice from freeze-dried somatic cell nuclei, pre
Nuclear reprogramming reinstates totipotency or pluripotency in somatic cells by changing their gene transcription profile. This technology is widely used in medicine, animal husbandry and other industries. However, certain deficiencies severely restrict the applications of this technology. Results Using sing...

Somatic cells, stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells: how do they now contribute to conservation? Adv Exp Med Biol. 2014;753:385–427. 10. Smith LC, Thundathil J, Filion F. Role of the mitochondrial genome in preimplantation development and assisted reproductive technologies. Reprod ...
Drosophila melanogaster undergoes a complete metamorphosis, during which time the larval male and female forms transition into sexually dimorphic, reproductive adult forms. To understand this complex morphogenetic process at a molecular-genetic level, wh
HGSC and EEC. The presence of an altered microbiome may facilitate the selection of cells with distinct genomic/genetic variation in the local epithelium, as demonstrated by significant correlations of different bacterial communities and different SNVs between cancer and control samples. These different...
10 min. The cells underwent centrifugation and were resuspended with fresh pre-chilled fixation solution three times for proper fixation. Finally, the cells were dropped onto slides and stained with Giemsa (Sigma, GS500). The resulting slides were then observed and imaged using VS120 microscope...
