Abnormal Germ Cell Development in Cryptorchidism

1 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggest that two fundamental, probably androgen-dependent, steps in maturation of germ cells normally occur in the prepubertal testis: the disappearance of gonocytes (the fetal stem cell pool) and the appearance of adult dark spermatogonia (the adult stem cell pool) at 2-3 months of age and the appearance of primary spermatocytes (the onset of meiosis) at 4-5 years. Previous studies...
