Abstract

PTN from Leydig cells activates SDC2 and modulates human spermatogonial stem cell proliferation and survival via GFRA1.

Biological research, 2024; PubMed, Homo sapiens PTN — Homo sapiens SDC2
ABSTRACT: Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are essential for the maintenance and initiation of male spermatogenesis. Despite the advances in understanding SSC biology in mouse models, the mechanisms underlying human SSC development remain elusive.
