Funded Activity Summary

Investigating spermatogonial stem cell allocation in the fetal testis. This project aims to determine when and how spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are specified, and whether a genetic pathway that is used by in vitro stem cells is also employed, in vivo, by testicular stem cells. The project aims to deliver insight into the mechanisms of adult stem cell specification and regulation, in general. Intended practical outcomes of this work will underpin new methods for fertility management in animals (in agriculture and conservation of endangered species) and humans. Knowledge gained will inform our understanding of stem cell biology more broadly and guide efforts to treat infertility or control fertility in animals and humans.
