摘要
There is now substantial evidence that members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta family) regulate germ cell development in the mouse fetal testis. Correct development of germ cells during fetal life is critical for establishment of effective spermatogenesis and for avoiding the formation of testicular germ cell cancer in later life. Here we consider the evidence for involvement of various TGF beta family members, attempt to reconcile discrepancies and clarify what we believe to be the likely in vivo roles of these factors.
