Embryonic germ cells as well as germline stem cells from neonatal mouse testis are
pluripotent and have differentiation potential similar to embryonic stem cells,, suggesting that …

Human primordial germ cells and mouse neonatal and adult germline stem cells are
pluripotent and show similar properties to embryonic stem cells. Here we report the …

In adults, stem cells are responsible for the maintenance of many actively renewing tissues,
such as haematopoietic, skin, gut and germinal tissues. These stem cells can self-renew or …

The successful isolation and cultivation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) as well as
induction of SSCs into pluripotent stem cells will allow us to study their biological …

The in vitro propagation of mouse spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) became possible in
2003; these cultured SSCs were named germ-line stem (GS) cells. To date, however, it has …

Although pluripotent stem cells were recently discovered in postnatal testis, attempts to
analyze their developmental potential have led to conflicting claims that spermatogonial …

Adult mammalian testis is a source of pluripotent stem cells. However, the lack of specific
surface markers has hampered identification and tracking of the unrecognized subset of …

Several reports have documented the derivation of pluripotent cells (multipotent germline
stem cells) from spermatogonial stem cells obtained from the adult mouse testis. These …

Mouse and human stem cells with features similar to those of embryonic stem cells have
been derived from testicular cells. Although pluripotent stem cells have been obtained from …

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the only stem cells in the body that transmit genetic
information to the next generation. The long-term propagation of rodent SSCs is now …
