Abstract
The feasibility of using spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) for cell-based infertility treatment has suffered from a lack of evidence in a preclinical nonhuman primate model. In this issue, Hermann et al. (2012) demonstrate that autologous and allogeneic transplantation of SSCs in testes of rhesus macaques produced functional sperm.
