Spermatogonial Stem Cell Transplantation from a Horse to a Mule
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spermatogonial stem cell transfer has been studied in various species and suggested potential for success. Bull, stallion, donkey, mule, boar, dog and cat testicles were examined using various injection techniques to determine distribution patterns of injected material most favorable for stem cell transfer. Spermatogonial stem cells were recovered from freshly harvested stallion testicles using enzymatic digestion and filtration and placed in suspension for transplantation. An 18 mo old sexually intact male mule was anesthetized and the stem cell suspension was injected into both testicles in the area below the head of the epididymis. Semen collected from the mule four months post-transplantation contained no spermatozoa. The stem cell transfer was unsuccessful in this case, however further research is needed to determine recipient age of injection to optimize donor cell development.

Melatonin improves spermatogonial stem cells transplantation efficiency in azoospermic mice
Objective(s):Transplantation quality improvement and reduction of cellular damage are important goals that are now considered by researchers. Melatonin is secreted from the pineal gland and some organs such as testes. According to beneficial effects of melatonin (such as its antioxidant and antiapoptotic properties), researchers have proposed that the use of melatonin may improve transplantatio...

The Effect of Caffeic Acid on Spermatogonial Stem Cell-type A Cryopreservation
Background: Cancer treatment methods can lead to male infertility .in this regard, cryopreservation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSC) and cell-to-person transplantation after the course of treatment to resolve the problem of infertility is a good one. The cryopreservation of SSC is an important process as it can help on the return of spermatogenesis. However, during this process, the stem cell...

Background: We have recently shown that human embryonic (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can differentiate into advanced spermatogenic cells including round spermatids by in vitro culture (Easley et al., Direct differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into haploid spermatogenic cells. Cell Reports 2, 440-446 2012) and also, in collaboration, that rhesus spermatogonial ...
