Abstract
How limited is the ability of stem cells to generate gametes or differentiated somatic cells? Recent outcomes of research with stem cells from both embryonic and adult origin will be discussed with particular attention to results that challenge conventional wisdom about the presence of reproductive stem cells in adults and the plasticity of adult stem cell types. The ability of embryonic germ cells, primordial germ cells, oogonia, gonocytes and spermatogonial stem cells to differentiate or dedifferentiate into overlapping cell types is described as well as the implications of generating differentiated somatic cells of multiple lineages from adult reproductive stem cells.
