Spermatogonial stem cell regulation and spermatogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article will provide an updated review of spermatogonial stem cells and their role in maintaining the spermatogenic lineage. Experimental tools used to study spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) will be described, along with research using these tools to enhance our understanding of stem cell biology and spermatogenesis. Increased knowledge about the biology of SSCs improves our capacity to manipulate these cells for practical application. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future directions for fundamental investigation and practical applications of SSCs.

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 ...

The origin and development of the spermatogenic cell lineage is reviewed, as well as spermatogonial kinetics in adult nonprimate mammals in relation to the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium, the emphasis being on spermatogonial stem cells. A hypothesis is presented for the transition from foetal germ cells, gonocytes, to adult type spermatogonia at the start of spermatogenesis. An overview i...

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...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into the regulation of the spermatogonial stem cell niche.
Potential therapeutic use of stem cells in the treatment of human diseases depends on our ability to control the balance of their differentiation and self-renewal in vitro and in vivo. The stem cell "niche," or specialized microenvironment, is now recognized as one of the major contributors to this regulation in many species. Our recent study, which was reported in Nature, was the first to demo...
