Stem Cell Niche System in Mouse Spermatogenesis - Male Germline Stem Cells Developmental and Regenerative Potential - page 173

work of the author's group described in this chapter was performed while I worked in his lab
before moving to the current institution. I thank Takehiko Ogawa at Yokohama City University,
for critical reading of the manuscript. I am also grateful to all the former and current members in
my group, especially Toshinori Nakagawa for his tolerance and insight regarding the pulse-label
experiments, to Mamiko Sukeno for her technical assistance, to Yu Kitadatae, Kenshiro Hara, and
Ryo Sugimoto for comments on this manuscript, and to Yuko Kuboki for her secretarial assistance
and help in manuscript preparation.
