During spermatogenesis, diploid stem cells differentiate, undergo meiosis, and transform into haploid spermatozoa. As this precisely timed series of events proceeds, chromosomal ploidy is reduced, and the nucleosomes of the chromatin are replaced by a transcriptionally quiescent protamine-containing

## Abstract Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common solid malignancy in young adult men, but the genes and genomic regions involved in their etiology are not fully defined. We report here an investigation of DNA copy number changes in GCTs using 1 Mb BAC arrays. As expected, 12p gain was the de
## Abstract Marmosets normally produce biovular twins which are connected, via placental vascular anastomoses, as early as preβsomite stages of development. These anastomoses allow the exchange of lymphoid and hematopoietic tissue, as demonstrated by karyotype analysis in heterosexual twins. Becaus
## Abstract The mechanisms that control differentiation of stem cells to specialised cell types probably include factors intrinsic to stem cells as well as extrinsic factors produced by the microenvironment of the stem cell niche. The __Drosophila__ male germline is renewed from a population of ste
In oogamous reproduction of multicellular organisms, a striking phenomenon is the prevailing synchronous development of male germ cells connected by wide intercellular bridges (IBs, 0.1-2 microm), which is well conserved in both animal and plant species ranging from algae to human. In the literature
