Abstract excerpt
Sertoli cells are a postmitotic terminally differentiated cell population in the adult testis that form the seminiferous tubules and provide the microenvironment and structural support for developing germ cells. The transcription factors that regulate Sertoli cell differentiation remain to be elucidated. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors are involved in the differentiation of a variety of cell...
