Germline Stem Cell Transplantation and Transgenesis

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: The recently developed testis cell transplantation method provides a powerful approach to studying the biology of the male germline stem cell and its microenvironment, the stem cell niche. The technique also is being used to examine spermatogenic defects, correct male infertility, and generate transgenic animals.
