Recent Advances in Application of Male Germ Cell Transplantation in Farm Animals

چکیده
Transplantation of isolated germ cells from a fertile donor male into the seminiferous tubules of infertile recipients can result in donor-derived sperm production. Therefore, this system represents a major development in the study of spermatogenesis and a unique functional assay to determine the developmental potential and relative abundance of spermatogonial stem cells in a given population of testis cells. The application of this method in farm animals has been the subject of an increasing number of studies, mostly because of its potential as an alternative strategy in producing transgenic livestock with higher efficiency and less time and capital requirement than the current methods. This paper highlights the salient recent research on germ cell transplantation in farm animals. The emphasis is placed on the current status of the technique and examination of ways to increase its efficiency through improved preparation of the recipient animals as well as isolation, purification, preservation, and transgenesis of the donor germ cells.

متن کاملTransplantation of germ cells and testis tissue to study mammalian spermatogenesis
It was first reported in 1994, that transplantation of germ cells from fertile donor mice to the testes of infertile recipient mice can result in donorderived spermatogenesis and transmission of the donor haplotype to offspring of recipient animals. More recently, germ cell transplantation was successfully performed also in large animals. Importantly, germ cell transplantation was successful be...

Background: Recent clinical studies of treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) with autologous adult stem cells led us to compare effect of intravenous injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell mobilization, induced by granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), in rats with a cortical compact device. Methods: Forty adult male Wistar rats w...
