In mice, a population of male germ cells show characteristics of non-apoptotic cell death during G0 arrest

Kara Stark, Talia Hatkevich, Edward A. Miao, Tomokazu Souma, Blanche Capel

The paper identifies a population of male germ cells in mice that exhibit non-apoptotic cell death characteristics during G0 arrest, suggesting selection based on cellular health for spermatogonial stem cell precursors.
