  • To identify commonly used markers for effective SSC sorting via FACS.
  • To propose optimizations for FACS methods to advance germline stem cell research.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on FACS application in SSCs.
  • Identification and summary of established surface markers for SSC identification.
  • Analysis of FACS efficiency and accuracy in SSC enrichment.

Main Results:

  • FACS is a highly efficient and accurate method for SSC enrichment and purification.
  • Specific surface markers are essential for successful FACS-based SSC sorting.
  • Current FACS protocols demonstrate significant potential for improving SSC purity.

Conclusions:

  • FACS is a widely accepted and effective technique for purifying SSCs.
  • Optimizing FACS sorting methods and marker selection can significantly promote germline stem cell research.
  • This review provides insights for advancing reproductive biology through improved SSC research methodologies.
