摘要
The mechanisms underlying the complexity of spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis have deeply been studied in recent years. Transgenic animals, gene-targeting techniques, and lower vertebrate animal models have led to the discovery of some of the intratesticular signals involved in germ cell progression. This review wish to give the state of the art about it with particular emphasis on the comparative approach. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
