Dramatic Expansion of Germinal Stem Cells by Ectopically Expressed Human Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Mouse Sertoli Cells
28 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Although the mammalian germinal stem cell (GSC) provides a good model to investigate the regulation of stem cells, the small number of these cells currently available hampers elucidation of the regulatory mechanism. Here, we show the dramatic amplification of GSCs in mouse testis following transfection of human glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor cDNA into Sertoli cells using an efficient, in vivo...
