Male germ-line stem cell potential is predicted by morphology of cells in neonatal rat testes

Abstract excerpt

Gonocytes are a transient population of male germ-line stem cells that are derived from primordial germ cells in the embryo and give rise to spermatogonial stem cells, which establish and maintain spermatogenesis in the postnatal testis. In contrast to spermatogonial stem cells, gonocytes can be identified easily in neonatal rat testis cell suspensions based on their large size and distinct morphology....
