Separating spermatogonia from cancer cells in contaminated prepubertal primate testis cell suspensions

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer and other diseases can cause male infertility. There are currently no options to preserve the fertility of prepubertal boys who are not yet making sperm. Cryopreservation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs, obtained via testicular biopsy) followed by autologous transplantation back into the testes at a later date may restore fertility in these patients....
