Proliferation and Differentiation of Spermatogonial Stem Cells in the W/Wv Mutant Mouse Testis1
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the dominant-white spotting (W; c-kit) and stem cell factor (Sl; SCF) genes, which encode the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor and its ligand, respectively, affect both the proliferation and differentiation of many types of stem cells. Almost all homozygous W or Sl mutant mice are sterile because of the lack of differentiated germ cells or spermatogonial stem cells. To characterize...
