Male germ cell activity during perinatal reproductive development in the mouse

Jarvis Sheba , Winston Robert , Fraser Scott , Readhead Carol

Dynamic changes in gene expression patterns and cell behaviour are evident throughout embryonic and neonatal germ cell development in the mouse. In the testes, the postnatal period represents a time when the male germline stem cells (GSCs) or, gonocytes migrate to the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubules preparing for a lifetime of spermatogenesis and is an important area of study. Here we use the transgenic mouse that expresses green fluorescent protein under the Oct...
