Regulation of spermatogenesis by a local functional axis in the testis: role of the basement membrane–derived noncollagenous 1 domain peptide

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Spermatogenesis takes place in the epithelium of the seminiferous tubules of the testes, producing millions of spermatozoa per day in an adult male in rodents and humans. Thus, multiple cellular events that are regulated by an array of signaling molecules and pathways are tightly coordinated to support spermatogenesis. Here, we report findings of a local regulatory axis between the basement membrane...
