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.Keywords
