Regulation of spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal and spermatocyte meiosis by Sertoli cell signaling
12 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Spermatogenesis is a continuous and productive process supported by the self-renewal and differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), which arise from undifferentiated precursors known as gonocytes and are strictly controlled in a special 'niche' microenvironment in the seminiferous tubules. Sertoli cells, the only somatic cell type in the tubules, directly interact with SSCs to control their...
