A Niche for GFRα1-Positive Spermatogonia in the Terminal Segments of the Seminiferous Tubules in Hamster Testes
26 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
In invertebrate species such as flies and nematodes, germline stem cells are maintained in a niche environment, which is restricted to the terminal end of the tubular structure in the gonads. In mice, spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), a subpopulation of Asingle GFRα1 (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor [GDNF] family receptor-α1)-positive spermatogonia, are widely distributed along the longitudinal axis...
