Embryonic germ-line cells are unipotent cells that give rise to either sperm or oocytes. However, pluripotent stem cells can be derived from primordial germ cells (PGCs) or spermatogonia, suggesting that germ-line cells retain a capacity for pluripotency.

Germ cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Germ cells are progenitors of the gametes. These singled-out cells move through the gut to the developing gonads and undergo mitotic proliferation followed by meiosis and differentiation into either ...

This focus explores EGC precursors, the Primordial Germ Cells. Topics concerning PGCs are: cellular and regional origins, migration through tissues to the future gonads, proliferation and mitosis, cell signaling and genes, and how PGCs maintain their pluripotent ability.

Primordial germ cells, the mesodermal precursors of follicles, are detectable at four weeks of fetal development. They originate in the allantois and then migrate through the hindgut and into the genital ridge, which will become the ovary.
