Livestock Genetic Improvements through Spermatogonial Stem Cell Transplantation Technology

Stem cells are unique that have the ability to differentiate into with specific functions and renew themselves produce new stem cells. One type of actively studied is Spermatogonial Cells (SSC). SSC a unipotent cell develops spermatozoa in mammalian testis. can be transplanted male testis recipients improve genetic quality livestock propagate valuable livestock. transplantation procedure started from isolation donor animal, vitro culture SCC for propagation or modification, preparations recipient males, transplant males normal sperm fertilize egg. technology has been successfully applied large animals such as cattle, goats, sheep, buffalo, pigs, other mammals monkeys. promising biotechnology production near future. This review will describe origins SSC, identification, characterization application improvement.
