Spermatogonial transplantation provides access to the mammalian germline and has been used in experimental animal models to study stem cell/niche biology and germline development, to restore fertility, and to produce transgenic models. The potential to manipulate and/or transplant the germline has numerous practical applications that transcend species boundaries. To make the transplantation technology more...
