Germ cell development: Anchoring and pulling forces shape germline cyst construction

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debate

Abstract

A new study reports a ‘tug-of-war’ mechanism in mouse germline cyst formation, where cell motility and intercellular bridges balance fragmentation and stabilization of the cyst. These dynamic and opposing forces that anchor and pull cells apart shape cyst construction, advancing our understanding of mammalian oogenesis and reproduction.
