Earliest stages of sex determination explored in stem cell-derived models
Sertoli cells, which are crucial to sperm formation, have been recreated in the lab using pluripotent stem cells, to help study the earliest stages of sex determination...
A type of stem cell found in early embryos, which is capable of developing into all (totipotent) or a wide range of (pluripotent) different body tissues.
