With the formation of "mini primordial uteri" this phenomenon is also observed in peritoneal endometriosis [ 4].
This phenomenon precedes the transformation of primordial germ cells into embryonic stem cells in culture, is the putative mechanism that operates in animals to provide neoplastic precursors of totipotent tumors, and provides a biological rationale for separating germ cell tumors from other embryonic tumors [ 47- 49].
This finding is in agreement with the phenomenon of iron withholding as a primordial antimicrobial strategy of infected mammals.
Early developmental stages typically have lower mtDNA copy number, a phenomenon especially well-documented in the context of primordial germ cells (Carling et al. 2011; Jansen and de Boer 1998; Shoubridge and Wai 2007).
To these seemingly disparate endeavors — investigating disease-causing organisms and postulating alien or primordial life forms — Dr. Blumberg contributed a broadened understanding of the evolutionary phenomenon called polymorphism, in which a species can adapt to an environment through changes in appearances and functions.
At an early embryonic stage, primordial germ cells undergo a complete erasure of epigenetic programming, a phenomenon that uniquely characterizes these cells.
Back in the mid-eighteen-eighties, the Greek-born poet Jean Moréas, who coined the term Symbolism, had renounced the depiction of concrete phenomena; Symbolist writers, he declared, gestured instead toward a primordial Idea, which could be conjured by "pure sounds," "densely convoluted sentences," and "knowingly organized disorder".
From Husserl, Heidegger learned the method of phenomenological reduction, by which the inherited preconceptions of conscious phenomena are pared away in order to reveal their essence, or primordial truth.
This phenomenon, a final reinterpretation of the notion of resoluteness, is what Heidegger calls primordial historizing or fate.
He acquired intuitive, mystical insight and became one with the ancient primordial Man, who in the Vedic creation myth had been divided into the many phenomena of the cosmos.
