Cellular apoptosis appears to be a constant feature in the adult testis and during early
development. This is essential because mammalian spermatogenesis is a complex process …

The significance of cell death occurring during spermatogenesis is a subject of interest
because of its potential medical importance. Unfortunately, the field has been difficult for …

Programmed cell death is an evolutionarily conserved cell death process that plays a major
role during normal development and homeostasis. In many cases, the ordered execution of …

From the viewpoint of improving germ cell production and treatment of testicular cancers,
understanding the control of testicular cell death is of great relevance. One of the prominent …

Programmed cell death is an evolutionarily conserved cell death process that plays a major
role during normal development and homeostasis. In many cases, the ordered execution of …

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

In many organisms, programmed cell death of germ cells is required for normal
development. This often occurs through highly conserved events including the transfer of …

Apoptosis is a critical process for regulating both the size and the quality of the male and
female germ lines. In this review, we examine the importance of this process during …

Germ cell degeneration is common in mammalian testes during the developmental as well
as the adult period. To investigate the extent and mechanisms of male germ cell death …

Mature sperm are the product of a precisely regulated developmental sequence in which
germ cell proliferation, differentiation, self‐renewal and apoptosis are carefully controlled …
