✦ Synopsis

Sertoli Cell Biology, Second Edition summarizes the progress since the last edition and emphasizes the new information available on Sertoli/germ cell interactions. This information is especially timely since the progress in the past few years has been exceptional and it relates to control of sperm production in vivo and in vitro.

• Fully revised
• Written by experts in the field
• Summarizes 10 years of research
• Contains clear explanations and summaries
• Provides a summary of references over the last 10 years
