How Primordial Germ Cells Destroy Somatic Signals

How Primordial Germ Cells Destroy Somatic Signals

The Germ Cell-Less (GCL) protein is a key regulator of primordial germ cell (PGC) formation in Drosophila embryos. Reporting in this issue of Developmental Cell, Pae et al. (2017) show that GCL blocks somatic cell fate by specifically destroying the Torso Receptor Tyrosine Kinase. The Germ Cell-Less...
