Reviews

This book provides an excellent framework for understanding the biology of mammalian spermatogonia and spermatogonial stem cells. ... A unique feature is the use of informative schematic diagrams accompanied by detailed legends. ... This is an excellent resource, particularly for students, because it does a fine job of explaining each topic in detail. The authors are correct in stating that this book will be useful to laboratory investigators, both within and outside of the field. (Prabhakara P. Reddi, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
