In Vitro Reconstitution of the Whole Male Germ-Cell Development from Mouse Pluripotent Stem Cells

Mammalian male germ-cell development consists of three distinct phases: primordial germ cell (PGC) development, male germ-cell specification for spermatogonium development, and ensuing spermatogenesis. Here, we show an in vitro reconstitution of whole male germ-cell development by pluripotent stem cells (PSCs).
