Spermatogonial Stem Cell Niche and Spermatogonial Stem Cell Transplantation in Zebrafish
BACKGROUND Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the foundation of spermatogenesis, and reside within a specific microenvironment in the testes called "niche" which regulates stem cell properties, such as, self-renewal, pluripotency, quiescence and their ability to differentiate. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we introduce zebrafish as a new model for the study of SSCs in vertebrates. Us...
متن کاملSpermatogonial stem cell isolation, storage, and transplantation.
The past 30 years have been marked by unparalleled accomplishments in the medical treatment of malignancy. Prior to advances in chemotherapeutic and radiation treatment, many oncologic conditions had dismal survival rates. Today, medical interventions have success rates that approach complete remission for many malignancies. An inadvertent complication of these therapies, however, has been the ...
متن کاملAdvances in spermatogonial stem cell transplantation.
Spermatogonial stem cell transplantation was first reported by Ralph Brinster's laboratory in 1994. It has proven to be a technological breakthrough in the study of both stem cells and Sertoli cell-germ cell interactions. This technique can be used to transfer testicular stem cells successfully from one animal to another of the same species (referred to as syngeneic transplants) and sometimes t...
متن کاملSpermatogonial Stem Cell Markers and Niche in Equids
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the foundation of spermatogenesis and are located in a highly dynamic microenvironment called "niche" that influences all aspects of stem cell function, including homing, self-renewal and differentiation. Several studies have recently identified specific proteins that regulate the fate of SSCs. These studies also aimed at identifying surface markers that wou...
متن کاملGdnf signaling pathways within the mammalian spermatogonial stem cell niche.
Mammalian spermatogenesis is a complex process in which male germ-line stem cells develop to ultimately form spermatozoa. Spermatogonial stem cells, or SSCs, are found in the basal compartment of the seminiferous epithelium. They self-renew to maintain the pool of stem cells throughout life, or they differentiate to generate a large number of germ cells. A balance between SSC self-renewal and d...
