Sertoli cell ablation and replacement of the spermatogonial niche in mouse
Sertoli cells and other somatic cells of the testis comprise the germ cell niche and are critical to regulate spermatogenesis. Here the authors present a method in which Sertoli cells are selectively targeted for ablation by the compound benzalkonium chloride (BC) in mice, and the spermatogenic nich...
