β¦ Synopsis
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 addresses such highly topical areas as stem cells, genomics, and molecular genetics, as well as provides historical information on the discovery of this type of cell, and the pathophysiology of male infertility. * Presents the state-of-the-art research on topics such as stem cell research, transplantation and genomics Includes contributions from leaders in the field, including several members of the National Academy of Science Discusses the pathophysiology of male infertility State-of-the-art chapters on current science advancements Stands as the only current reference on the topic of sertoli cells
