Spermatogonial fate in mice with increased activin A bioactivity and testicular somatic cell tumours
26 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
Adult male fertility depends on spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) which undergo either self-renewal or differentiation in response to microenvironmental signals. Activin A acts on Sertoli and Leydig cells to regulate key aspects of testis development and function throughout life, including steroid production. Recognising that activin A levels are elevated in many pathophysiological conditions, this study...
