Derivation and morphological characterization of mouse spermatogonial stem cell lines.

O-3: Identification and Characterization of Repopulating Spermatogonial Stem Cells from The Adult Human Testis

Background: This study was conducted to identify and characterize repopulating spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in the adult human testes. Materials and Methods: Testes biopsies from obstructive azoospermic patients and normal segments of human testicular tissue were used. Flow cytometry, real time PCR and immunohistochemical analysis were performed. Purified human spermatogonia were transplant...

P-103: Enhancement of Colonization on Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cell by Low Intensity Ultrasound Stimulation

Background: Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the foundation of spermatogenesis. New procedure such as sound wave especially low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can be effective on increasing the number of cells. In this study we investigated the effect of LIUS stimulation on mouse SSCs. Materials and Methods: Isolated SSCs from neonate mice cultured in DMEM culture medium with 10% fetal bovine ...

Comparison of Neonatal and Adult Mice-derived Sertoli Cells in Support of Expansion of Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells In vitro

Combination of In Vivo Cryptorchid Testis and In Vitro Co- Culture System to Obtain High Purification and Proliferation of Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells

Background The present study was designed to evaluate the survival and proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells from cryptorchid mouse testis in co-culture system over a 3 weeks period. MaterialsAndMethods Sertoli and spermatogonial cells were isolated from bilateral cryptorchid mouse model testes. Isolated spermatogonial cells were co-cultured with Sertoli cells in minimal essential medium (...

The Effects of Plla Nanofiber Scaffold on Proliferation of Frozen-Thawed Neonate Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells

Purpose: To investigate of the effects of a poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) nanofiber scaffold on proliferation of frozen-thawed neonate mouse spermatogonial stem cells.Materials and Methods: Spermatogonial cells were isolated from neonatal 3-6-day-old NMRI mice testes by two steps enzymatic digestion and differential plating. The isolated spermatogonial cells were divided into four culture groups: 1...
