Identification of dynamic undifferentiated cell states within the male germline

Sustained spermatogenesis depends on stem cell activity which is contained within a population of undifferentiated spermatogonia. Here, the authors identify a new population of undifferentiated spermatogonia in adult testis that expresses the transcription factor PDX1 and has stem cell capacity.
