Abstract
In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Kanatsu-Shinohara et al. (2008) show that beta1-integrin participates in normal spermatogenesis and is required for spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) homing to the basal membrane niche. The methodology used provides a powerful tool to study the role of other factors in niche-SSC interactions.
