Suppression of apoptosis by Bcl-2, an oncogene product, has been previously reported.
Although the down regulation of Bcl-2 has been encountered in various types of apoptosis …

A detailed study of the death in vitro of mouse primordial germ cell (PGCs) by means of
transmission and scanning electron microscopy is reported. The results show that after 4–5 …

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that germ cell death both spontaneous (during
normal spermatogenesis) and that induced by suppression of hormonal support or …

Programmed cell death and proliferation are evolutionary conserved processes that play a
major role during normal development and homeostasis. In the testis, during the fetal and …

Apoptosis, as determined by blastomere and DNA fragmentation, occurs in many
preimplantation mouse embryos. To investigate which genes contribute to apoptosis in …

Context: The regulation of germ cell proliferation and loss during human ovarian
development is poorly understood. This is of particular interest at the time leading up to the …

Toxic agents can interfere with the male reproductive system at many targets. Radiation and
cancer chemotherapeutic drugs represent one class of toxins the sterilizing effects of which …

The purpose of the study was to examine the occurrence of programmed cell death
(apoptosis) in normal and chromosomally aneuploid testis and ovaries during the second …

In the present study an in vitro model was developed and characterized for evaluation of the
role of apoptosis in adult human testes. The samples came from adult men undergoing …

Spermatogenesis is a complex process involving mitotic cell division, meiosis and the
process of spermiogenesis. The regulation of spermatogenesis involves both endocrine and …
