How is the mouse germ-cell lineage established?
Abstract
Six cells have been detected in the early mouse embryo that express the transcriptional repressor Blimp1--as also do all the 40 or so cells that constitute the founder germ cell pool a day later. Are these half-dozen cells the ancestors of the entire mouse germ cell lineage?
