How to Make a Gonad: Cellular Mechanisms Governing Formation of the Testes and Ovaries

15 May 2012

Abstract excerpt

Sex determination of the gonad is an extraordinary process by which a single organ anlage is directed to form one of two different structures, a testis or an ovary. Morphogenesis of these two organs utilizes many common cellular events; differences in the timing and execution of these events must combine to generate sexually dimorphic structures. In this chapter, we review recent research on the cellular...
