MEK/ERK signaling directly and indirectly contributes to the cyclical self-renewal of spermatogonial stem cells
29 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
Coordination of stem cell fate is regulated by extrinsic niche signals and stem cell intrinsic factors. In mammalian testes, spermatogonial stem cells maintain constant production of abundant spermatozoa by alternating between self-renewal and differentiation at regular intervals according to a periodical program known as the seminiferous epithelial cycle. Although retinoic acid (RA) signaling has been suggested...
