Abstract excerpt
Sertoli cells (SCs) play a central role in testis development, and their normal number and functions are required for spermatogenesis. Although the canonical tuberous sclerosis complex-mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1(TSC-mTORC1) pathway is critical for testis development and spermatogenesis, the signaling mechanisms governing SC functions remain unclear. In this study, we generated two SC-specific mouse...
