Magnetic activated cell sorting allows isolation of spermatogonia from adult primate testes and reveals distinct GFRa1‐positive subpopulations in men
15 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Isolation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) could enable in vitro approaches for exploration of spermatogonial physiology and therapeutic approaches for fertility preservation. SSC isolation from adult testes is difficult due to low cell numbers and lacking cell surface markers. Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor family receptor alpha-1 (GFRalpha1) plays a crucial role for the maintenance of...
