... sperm production begins with the spermatagonia, which either divide into more stem cells or differentiate into cells called spermatocytes then to spermatids and finally sperm, with the male hormone testosterone crucially involved all along. A major, surprising discovery by Meistrich and colleagues ...

... Dicer1 in the germline. Because the CKO mice exhibited transient fertility, an elegant reporter strategy was used to demonstrate that elongated spermatids present in the CKO testes did express the Cre recombinase; therefore, it is likely that differentiation to this stage can occur in the absence of ...
