Abstract

Sertoli cells assist in the production of sperm in the male reproductive system. This book provides a state-of-the-art update on the topic of sertoli cells and male reproduction. It addresses such highly topical areas as stem cells, genomics, and molecular genetics, as well as provides historical information on the discovery of this type of cell, and the pathophysiology of male infertility.
* Presents the state-of-the-art research on topics such as stem cell research, transplantation and genomics
* Includes contributions from leaders in the field, including several members of the National Academy of Science
"5 Stars!...Experienced investigators who are deeply (passionately) interested in the biology of the testis and the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of male reproduction wrote this book. This is an important and valuable contribution to the field that presents state-of-the-art information. It will be a treasured resource and source of inspiration for years to come."
