The murine seminiferous epithelial cycle is pre-figured in the Sertoli cells of the embryonic testis

Abstract excerpt

The seminiferous epithelial cycle and spermatogenic wave are conserved features of vertebrate spermatogenic organisation that reflect the need for the rigorous maintenance of sperm production. Although the cycle and the wave of the adult seminiferous epithelium have been well characterised, particularly in rodent species, their developmental origins are unknown. We show that the Sertoli cells of the pre-pubertal...
