Dynamic changes in EPCAM expression during spermatogonial stem cell differentiation in the mouse testis.

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have the unique ability to undergo self-renewal division. However, these cells are morphologically indistinguishable from committed spermatogonia, which have limited mitotic activity. To establish a system for SSC purification, we analyzed the expression of SSC marke...
