Apoptosis: its importance in spermatogenic dysfunction

Apoptosis, spontaneous programmed cell death, has recently generated great interest in several areas of investigation, including infertility. Selective sperm cell death also seems to be a component of normal spermatogenesis. A better understanding of this process may lead to the development of new s...
