SMAD3 and HIF-1α orchestrate metabolic transition to aerobic glycolysis as a critical prerequisite for spontaneous reprogramming of spermatogonial stem cells

Abstract Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) possess the capacity for spontaneous reprogramming during in vitro culture, while the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially why the addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) remarkably enhanced transitio...
