The demand for food will increase to an unprecedented level over the next 30 years owing
to human population expansion, thus necessitating an evolution that improves the efficiency …

Animal breeding drives genetic progress mainly through the male germline. This process is
slow to respond to rapidly mounting environmental pressures that threaten sustainable food …

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) provide the basis for lifelong male fertility through self-
renewal and differentiation. Prepubertal male cancer patients may be rendered infertile by …

The goal of in vitro gametogenesis is to reproduce the events of sperm and oocyte
development in the laboratory. Significant advances have been made in the mouse in the …

We are entering an exciting epoch in livestock biotechnology during which the fundamental
approaches (such as transgenesis, spermatozoa cryopreservation and artificial …

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are unique adult stem cells capable of self-renewal and
differentiation into sperm. Grouper is a protogynous hermaphroditic fish farmed widely in the …

Background Spermatogonial stem cells (SSC s) in the mammalian testis are unipotent stem
cells for spermatozoa. They show unique cell characteristics as stem cells and germ cells …

Self‐renewal and differentiation of male germline stem cells (mGSCs) provide the basic
function for continual spermatogenesis. Studies of in vitro culture of germline stem cells are …

Gene editing and subsequent cloning techniques offer great potential not only in genetic
disease correction in domestic animals but also in livestock production by enhancement of …

Gonocytes play an important role in early development of spermatogonial stem cells and
fertility preservation to acquire more high quality gonocytes in vitro for further germ cell …
