Sertoli Cell Proliferation in the Adult Testis—Evidence from Two Fish Species Belonging to Different Orders1
7 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Germ cell survival and development critically depend on the cells' contact with Sertoli cells in the vertebrate testis. Fish and amphibians are different from mammals in that they show a cystic type of spermatogenesis in which a single germ cell clone is enclosed by and accompanied through the different stages of spermatogenesis by an accompanying group of Sertoli cells. We show that in maturing and adult testes...
