Donor Sertoli cells transplanted into irradiated rat testes stimulate partial recovery of endogenous spermatogenesis
26 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Irradiation of rat testes leads to the failure to support differentiation of the surviving spermatogonia due to damage of the somatic environment. To determine the involvement of Sertoli cells in this somatic damage, we transplanted seminiferous tubule cells from normal immature GFP-transgenic rats into the testes of irradiated rats. The donor Sertoli cells colonized and developed in the host testes. In many...
