Puma and Trail/Dr5 pathways control radiation-induced apoptosis in distinct populations of testicular progenitors.

Spermatogonia- stem cells and progenitors of adult spermatogenesis- are killed through a p53-regulated apoptotic process after gamma-irradiation but the death effectors are still poorly characterized. Our data demonstrate that both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways are involved, and especia...
