GCT is locally aggressive with progressive invasion of adjacent tissues and occasionally displays malignant characteristics including lung metastasis. GCT is characterized genetically by highly recurrent somatic mutations at the G34 position of the H3F3A gene, encoding the histone variant H3.3, in stromal cells. This leads to deregulated gene expression and increased proliferation of mutation-bearing cells. However, when GCT complicates Paget disease of bone (GCT/PDB) it behaves differently, showing a more malignant phenotype with 5-year survival less than 50%. GCT/PDB is caused by a germline mutation in the ZNF687 gene, which encodes a transcription factor involved in the repression of genes surrounding DNA double-strand breaks to promote repair by homologous recombination. Identification of these driver mutations led to novel diagnostic tools for distinguishing between these two tumors and other osteoclast-rich neoplasms. Herein, we review the clinical, histological, and molecular features of GCT in different contexts focusing also on pharmacological treatments.We aim to establish a small-bodied surrogate broodstock, such as mackerel, which produces functional bluefin tuna gametes by spermatogonial transplantation. When reproductively fertile fish are used as recipients, endogenous gametogenesis outcompetes donor-derived gametogenesis, and recipient fish predominantly produce their gametes. In this study, we assessed fertility of hybrid mackerel, Scomber australasicus × S. japonicus, and its suitability as a recipient for transplantation of bluefin tuna germ cells. Hybrid mackerel were produced by artificially inseminating S. australasicus eggs with S. japonicus spermatozoa. Cellular DNA content and PCR
