Functional Assessment of Self-Renewal Activity of Male Germline Stem Cells Following Cytotoxic Damage and Serial Transplantation1
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Spermatogenesis is dependent on a small population of stem cells. Although stem cells are believed to expand infinitely, there is little functional evidence regarding whether spermatogonial stem cells can increase in their number. Using the spermatogonial transplantation technique, we evaluated the proliferative potential of spermatogonial stem cells in two models of regeneration. After busulfan injection to...
