Single-cell analysis of developing and azoospermia human testicles reveals central role of Sertoli cells

Non-obstructive azoospermia affects 1% of men. Here, authors perform single-cell transcriptomic analysis of human testicular cells from healthy donors and non-obstructive azoospermia patients and find that inhibition of Wnt signaling promotes the maturation of Sertoli cells from patients.
