Purification of GFRα1+ and GFRα1– Spermatogonial Stem Cells Reveals a Niche-Dependent Mechanism for Fate Determination

Summary: Undifferentiated spermatogonia comprise a pool of stem cells and progenitor cells that show heterogeneous expression of markers, including the cell surface receptor GFRα1. Technical challenges in isolation of GFRα1+ versus GFRα1– undifferentiated spermatogonia have precluded the comparative...
