Description
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.
Audience
Researchers, investigators and students in the fields of male reproduction, cell and developmental biology, and genomics.
