Deciphering Sex-Specific Differentiation of Human Fetal Gonads: Insight From Experimental Models
2 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Sex-specific gonadal differentiation is initiated by the expression of SRY in male foetuses. This promotes a signalling pathway directing testicular development, while in female foetuses the absence of SRY and expression of pro-ovarian factors promote ovarian development. Importantly, in addition to the initiation of a sex-specific signalling cascade the opposite pathway is simultaneously inhibited. The somatic...
