Abstract

In this article, Hamer and colleagues show that, on a feeder layer of Sertoli cells, mouse spermatogonial stem cells can be induced to undergo meiosis in vitro. However, meiotic recombination and checkpoints do not necessarily function properly in vitro, and the authors warn that in vitro-generated spermatid-like cells should be thoroughly analyzed before clinical application can be considered.
