Sertoli cells maintain Leydig cell number and peritubular myoid cell activity in the adult mouse testis.
The Sertoli cells are critical regulators of testis differentiation and development. In the adult, however, their known function is restricted largely to maintenance of spermatogenesis. To determine whether the Sertoli cells regulate other aspects of adult testis biology we have used a novel transge...
