RU 486 blocks inhibitory effect of neonatal corticosterone administration on sertoli cell proliferation in mice [PDF]
Cortisol/corticosterone (CORT) are typical glucocorticoids and exert an anti-stress function. p27, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, acts as a terminal factor for Sertoli cell proliferation at the prepubescent stage. Our previous study showed neonatal

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in mammalian spermatogenesis, which is highly dependent on Sertoli cells. However, the functions and mechanisms of miRNAs in regulating human Sertoli cells remain largely unknown.

PTBP1 supports mouse spermatogenesis by facilitating cytoskeletal organization through the mTORC2–PKCα pathway in Sertoli cells [PDF]
Somatic Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubule provide structural and paracrine support for spermatogenesis. Proper regulation of Sertoli cell cytoskeleton dynamics is essential for this function; however, the regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Here,

Molecular Mechanisms and Signaling Pathways Involved in Sertoli Cell Proliferation
Sertoli cells are somatic cells present in seminiferous tubules which have essential roles in regulating spermatogenesis. Considering that each Sertoli cell is able to support a limited number of germ cells, the final number of Sertoli cells reached ...

Unique Sertoli cell adaptations support enhanced spermatogenesis in chickens [PDF]
Background The cellular basis of testicular development and spermatogenesis for the extreme sperm density in chickens (100-fold higher than mammals) remains poorly defined.

Since their initial description by Enrico Sertoli in 1865, Sertoli cells have continued to enchant testis biologists. Testis size and germ cell carrying capacity are intimately tied to Sertoli cell number and function.

Role of androgen and gonadotrophins in the development and function of the Sertoli cells and Leydig cells: data from mutant and genetically modified mice [PDF]
Development and maintenance of the male phenotype and establishment of fertility are all dependent upon the activity of the Sertoli cells and Leydig cells of the testis.
