Isolation, characterization and differentiation of in vitro adult human germ line stem cells

摘要

A method of in vitro maturation of adult human germ line cells in an artificial biological environment, which entails: a) isolating human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), and optionally purifying the same; and b) co-culturing the isolated and optionally purified SSCs with a suitably adjusted Sertoli cell environment to obtain haploid germ cells.
