Transcriptome dynamics in developing testes of domestic cats and impact of age on tissue resilience to cryopreservation

Abstract Background Fundamental knowledge of cellular and molecular mechanisms in developing testicular tissues is critical to better understand gonadal biology and responses to non-physiological conditions. The objective of our study was to (1) analyze transcriptome dynamics in developing testis of...
