6 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to establish the culture conditions required to isolate, identify and expand male germ stem cell-like cells (GSC-LC) from the testicular tissue of patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). METHODS AND RESULTS: Testicular tissues obtained from patients (two with maturation arrest (MA, n = 2) and Sertoli cell-only syndrome (SCOS, n = 11) were dissociated and plated...
