Abstract

Primordial germ cells arise during gastrulation and migrate from the hindgut into the gonad primordium during early organogenesis. In this article, we discuss factors that control migration, proliferation and targeting of the PGCs. In particular we discuss how changes in adhesiveness control germ cell positioning in the gonad, and the molecules involved.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
