Sustained spermatogenesis in adult males and recovery of fertility following germ cell depletion are dependent on undifferentiated spermatogonia with self-renewal potential. Self-renewal of undifferen
DZIP (DAZ-Interacting Protein) containing a C2H2 zinc-finger domain is expressed predominantly in human embryonic stem cells and fetal and adult germ cells; DZIP colocalizes with DAZ and/or DAZL prote
Dazl (deleted in azoospermia like) is a member of the DAZ family of germ cell-restricted RNA binding proteins required for gametogenesis from worm to human. The direct RNA targets and functions of the
Sertoli cells (SCs), the only somatic constituent of the testicular seminiferous epithelium, are vital to spermatogenesis. We previously found that vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AA) can reprogram the tran
