[PDF][PDF] The planarian neoblast: the rambling history of its origin and some current black boxes.
J Baguñà - International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2012 - researchgate.net
First described by Randolph in 1897, the nature and main features of planarian neoblasts
have a long rambling history. While their morphologically undifferentiated features have long …

Does shoot apical meristem function as the germline in safeguarding against excess of mutations?
A Burian - Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 - frontiersin.org
A genetic continuity of living organisms relies on the germline which is a specialized cell
lineage producing gametes. Essential in the germline functioning is the protection of genetic …

PIWI proteins and PIWI-interacting RNAs function in Hydra somatic stem cells
CE Juliano, A Reich, N Liu, J Götzfried… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
PIWI proteins and their bound PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are found in animal
germlines and are essential for fertility, but their functions outside of the gonad are not well …

Divergent RNA‐binding proteins, DAZL and VASA, induce meiotic progression in human germ cells derived in vitro
Our understanding of human germ cell development is limited in large part due to
inaccessibility of early human development to molecular genetic analysis. Pluripotent …

Inheritance of somatic mutations by animal offspring
KL Vasquez Kuntz, SA Kitchen, TL Conn… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
Since 1892, it has been widely assumed that somatic mutations are evolutionarily irrelevant
in animals because they cannot be inherited by offspring. However, some nonbilaterians …

Transcription factor AP2 controls cnidarian germ cell induction
TQ DuBuc, CE Schnitzler, E Chrysostomou… - Science, 2020 - science.org
Clonal animals do not sequester a germ line during embryogenesis. Instead, they have adult
stem cells that contribute to somatic tissues or gametes. How germ fate is induced in these …

Chromatin remodelling during male gametophyte development
The plant life cycle alternates between a diploid sporophytic phase and haploid
gametophytic phase, with the latter giving rise to the gametes. Male gametophyte …
