The chromatoid body of male germ cells: Similarity with processing bodies and presence of Dicer and microRNA pathway components

The chromatoid body is a perinuclear, cytoplasmic cloud-like structure in male germ cells whose function has remained elusive. Here we show that the chromatoid body is related to the RNA-processing body of somatic cells. Dicer and components of microRNP complexes (including Ago proteins and microRNA...
