Brief description The growth factor activin provides key signals in embryonic and infant testes to coordinate development of male germline cells into sperm. This project tests how activin controls genetic stability when the human testis is vulnerable to forming germline cells that become tumours in young men. We will study how activin acts to allow sperm stem cells to multiply and develop in sufficient numbers for adult fertility.
