Androgen receptors are not required for gonocyte migration from the center of the testicular tubules to the basement membrane and transformation into spermatogonia stem cells up to day 10 in androgen receptor knockout mice. Identifying nonandrogenic factors might improve the fertility potential of boys with undescended testis who are undergoing orchiopexy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
