Follicle-stimulating hormone signaling is essential for the initiation and early stages of
spermatogenesis. Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor is exclusively expressed in Sertoli …

Background Spermatogenesis is a complex process that is controlled by interactions
between germ cells and somatic cells. The commitment of undifferentiated spermatogonia to …

Human spermatogenesis is a highly ordered process; however, the roles of DNA
methylation and chromatin accessibility in this process remain largely unknown. Here by …

Objectives Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is expressed by somatic cells in the
seminiferous tubules, yet little information exists about its role in regulating spermatogonial …

The role of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) is crucial in spermatogenesis, and
extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been the focus of research as an important intercellular …

Human spermatogenesis includes three main stages, namely, the mitosis of spermatogonia,
meiosis of spermatocytes, and spermiogenesis of spermatids, which are precisely regulated …

In chickens, the embryonic ovary differentiates into two distinct domains before meiosis: a
steroidogenic core (the female medulla), overlain by the germ cell niche (the cortex). The …

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare tumors that can develop in both sexes, peaking in
adolescents. To understand the mechanisms that underlie germ cell transformation, we …

We have previously shown that the transcript levels of Vegfc and its receptor Vegfr3 were
high in spermatogonia and extremely low in spermatocytes and spermatids. However, it …
