Rat in vitro spermatogenesis promoted by chemical supplementations and oxygen-tension control

Abstract In vitro spermatogenesis (IVS) using air–liquid interphase organ culture method is possible with mouse testis tissues. The same method, however, has been hardly applicable to animals other than mice, only producing no or limited progression of spermatogenesis. In the present study, we chall...
