CXCL12/CXCR4 Signaling is Required for the Maintenance of Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Continual spermatogenesis relies on the activities of a tissue-specific stem cell population referred to as spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Fate decisions of stem cells are influenced by their niche environments, a major component of which is soluble factors secreted by support cells. At present, the factors that constitute the SSC niche are undefined. We explored the role of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12...
