Pathways to Pluripotency: How Germ Cells Make Stem Cells - Male Germline Stem Cells Developmental and Regenerative Potential - page 21

Sean Donovan and Leslie Lock for their unrelenting support and encouragement. Work in my
laboratory is supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (HD149488; HD47675)
and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (RC1-00110) and by institutional funds
from the University of California, Irvine. I dedicate this work to the late Anne McLaren, who was
great supporter not only of me but of many others in the germ cell field.
