The Testis From Stem Cell to Sperm Function

The Testis From Stem Cell to Sperm Function / edited by Erwin Goldberg.

This volume contains the proceedings of the XVth North American Testis Workshop, held in Louisville, Kentucky, April 7 to 10, 1999, to describe current advances in testis biology. The first two chapters provide a useful historical perspective of testis physiology and formulate compelling research qu...
