Deciphering Sex-Specific Differentiation of Human Fetal Gonads: Insight From Experimental Models
Sex-specific gonadal differentiation is initiated by the expression of SRY in male foetuses. This promotes a signalling pathway directing testicular development, while in female foetuses the absence of SRY and expression of pro-ovarian factors promote ...
