Regulative germ cell specification in axolotl embryos: a primitive trait conserved in the mammalian lineage.
How germ cells are specified in the embryos of animals has been a mystery for decades. Unlike most developmental processes, which are highly conserved, embryos specify germ cells in very different ways. Curiously, in mouse embryos germ cells are specified by extracellular signals; they are not auton...
