PMID: 19891764
Background: Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) have the capacity to differentiate in vivo and in vitro into cells from all three germ lineages. The aim of the present study was...

. 2008 Nov;
91(4 Suppl):1549-52.
PMID: 19006799
Four months after transplanting bone marrow cells into the testis, no differentiation to spermatogonial stem cells was observed. Bone marrow transplantation had no protective effect on fertility after chemotherapy.

Fertil Steril
. 2008 Apr;
90(5):2019-22.
PMID: 18439593
Although childhood cancer treatments are yielding higher survival rates, sterility remains one of their major side effects. For prepubertal boys, there currently are no options to preserve fertility. Testicular tissue...

. 2008 Apr;
91(5 Suppl):2264-72.
PMID: 18394623
Objective: To make a comparison between two different approaches-spermatogonial stem cell transplantation and intratesticular grafting, for preservation and reintroduction of spermatogonial stem cells. Design: Prospective experimental study. Setting: Academic medical...
