Abstract excerpt
Spermatogonial stem cells can convert into embryonic stem (ES) cell-like multipotent germline stem (mGS) cells in vitro and produce germline chimeras by blastocyst microinjection. Although homologous recombination was previously demonstrated in mGS cells, spermatogenesis was not found in chimeras, suggesting that they are not competent for germline modification. Here we conducted detailed analysis of chimeric...
