The complex morphology of the Sertoli cells and their interactions with germ cells has been
a focus of investigators since they were first described by Enrico Sertoli. In the past 50 years …

The “nurse cell” function of Sertoli cells in spermatogenesis was originally tacitly assumed
on the basis of the anatomical relationships between cells in the testis. In mammals, from …

Sertoli cells are the somatic cells of the testis that are essential for testis formation and
spermatogenesis. Sertoli cells facilitate the progression of germ cells to spermatozoa via …

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 …

Much of what is known about the molecular regulation and function of adult Sertoli cells has
been inferred from in vitro studies of immature Sertoli cells. However, adult and immature …

Sertoli cells are the orchestrators of spermatogenesis; they support fetal germ cell
commitment to the male pathway and are essential for germ cell development, from …

It has been one and a half centuries since Enrico Sertoli published the seminal discovery of
the testicular 'nurse cell', not only a key cell in the testis, but indeed one of the most amazing …

Spermatogenesis is a complex process by which spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) self-
renew and differentiate into spermatozoa under the elaborate coordination of testicular …

The somatic Sertoli cell plays an essential role in embryonic determination of male somatic
sex and in spermatogenesis during adult life. One individual Sertoli cell supplies a clone of …

Spermatogenesis is contingent upon hormones and growth factors acting through endocrine
and paracrine pathways either in vivo or in vitro. Sertoli cells (SCs) furnish essential factors …
