Identification of VASA gene expression in in-vitro culture from non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) testicular biopsy cells: A study to unlock knowledge of male infertility

The expression product of VASA gene is widely conserved germ line marker and participates to regulate the development of reproductive system and spermatogenesis in healthy man. Azoospermic is a condition which the man is unable to produce any sperm cells for reproduction activity. This condition pro...

Azoospermic is a condition which the man is unable to produce any sperm cells for reproduction activity.
