Does co-transplantation of mesenchymal and spermatogonial stem cells improve reproductive efficiency and safety in mice?

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Spermatogonial stem cell transplantation (SSCT) is a promising therapy in restoring the fertility of childhood cancer survivors. However, the low efficiency of SSCT is a significant concern. SSCT could be improved by co-transplanting transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1)-induced mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we investigated the reproductive efficiency and safety of...
