The main results of studies regarding the biology of Sertoli cells under various experimental con ditions are considered. Possible potential mechanisms underlying the transition of highly differentiated Ser toli cells to dedifferentiation, limited by proliferation and reproduction and not accompanied by significant phenotypic changes, are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
