Abstract:Spermatogenesis is a complex process requiring intricate cellular interactions between multiple cell types to produce viable sperm. Peritubular myoid cells (PTMs) are smooth muscle cells that line the seminiferous tubules and play a critical role in sperm production by providing mechanical support and molecular signaling factors. In vitro investigation of their contribution to spermatogenesis and their dysfunction in infertility is currently limited by the rare accessibility of human testicular tissue for rese… Show more
