Abstract:
Spermatogonial stem cells are male germ line stem cells, whose potency of proliferation is indispensable for the permanent production of male germ cells. With the advances in the technology of cryopreservation, in vitro culture and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), the transplantation of spermatogonial stem cells is showing a splendid vista of application in basic medical research and clinical practice. This review briefly introduces the genesis and differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells, the current situation of their transplantation and the prospects of its application in medical science.

The process of spermatogenesis can be divided into mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. During mitosis, the spermatogonia or stem cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells, type A and B spermatogonia. Type-A...
