  2. Germ cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_cell

    As of 2018, germ cell tumors account for 3% of all cancers in children and adolescents 0–19 years old. [22] Germ cell tumors are generally located in the gonads but can also appear in the abdomen, pelvis, mediastinum, or brain. Germ cells migrating to the gonads may not reach that intended destination and a tumor can grow wherever they end up ...

  3. Germline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germline

    Cormlets of Watsonia meriana, an example of apomixis Clathria tuberosa, an example of a sponge that can grow indefinitely from somatic tissue and reconstitute itself from totipotent separated somatic cells. In biology and genetics, the germline is the population of a multicellular organism's cells that develop into germ cells.

  5. Germline development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germline_development

    Cleavage in most animals segregates cells containing germ plasm from other cells. The germ plasm effectively turns off gene expression to render the genome of the cell inert. Cells expressing germ plasm become primordial germ cells (PGCs) which will then give rise to the gametes. The germ line development in mammals, on the other hand, occurs ...

  6. List of human cell types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_cell_types

    An extensive listing of human cell types was published by Vickaryous and Hall in 2006, collecting 411 different types of human cells (with 145 types of neuron among those). [ 11 ] The Human Cell Atlas project, which started in 2016, had as one of its goals to "catalog all cell types (for example, immune cells or brain cells ) and sub-types in ...

  7. Ectoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectoderm

    Once convergent extension and radial intercalation are underway, the rest of the vegetal pole, which will become endoderm cells, is completely engulfed by the prospective ectoderm, as these top cells undergo epiboly, where the ectoderm cells divide in a way to form one layer. This creates a uniform embryo composed of the three germ layers in ...

  8. Histogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogenesis

    Histogenesis is the formation of different tissues from undifferentiated cells. [1] These cells are constituents of three primary germ layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. The science of the microscopic structures of the tissues formed within histogenesis is termed histology.

  9. Germ layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_layer

    A germ layer is a primary layer of cells that forms during embryonic development. [1] The three germ layers in vertebrates are particularly pronounced; however, all eumetazoans ( animals that are sister taxa to the sponges ) produce two or three primary germ layers.
