VEGF-dependent testicular vascularisation involves MEK1/2 signalling and the essential angiogenesis factors, SOX7 and SOX17
Abstract Background Abnormalities of in utero testis development are strongly associated with reproductive health conditions, including male infertility and testis cancer. In mouse testes, SOX9 and FGF9 support Sertoli cell development, while VEGF signalling is essential for the establishment of vas...
