Abstract

Spermatogenesis is a complex process of cell proliferation, meiosis and differentiation. In order to determine the genetic mechanisms that control this process we need to develop adequate methodologies for the purification of stage-specific germ cells. In this study we aim to evaluate four markers (c-kit, oct-4, Integrin α6 and Integrin β1), used to isolate spermatogonial stem cells in mammals, as possible markers to isolate/sort testicular adult stem and progenitor cells in humans.
