Senior investigators internationally have here collaborated to produce an international reference work. Each contributor provides critical and thought provoking concepts and ideas based on the latest developments in their field. The result is a must read and timely reference work for investigators who are interested in how spermatogenesis is currently understood and which are the most promising avenues for future research; an Introduction sets the context for the chapter and points out the relevance of the research for basic research scientists and clinicians.

This book bridges the gap of basic research in male reproductive biology and its relationship to clinical studies. Bringing together a group of senior investigators with decades of experience in research and clinical investigation and keen interest in collaboration between the two areas, this book provides a balanced treatment of technical and basic research insights and cutting-edge findings, while introducing new ideas for clinical applications of this research.

Section I is devoted to clinical aspects including testis biology, prostate biology, and spermatogenesis by senior investigators of male infertility treatment, particularly non-obstructive azoospermia. Section II presents the latest findings in male reproductive biology from a basic research perspective, as well as covering cutting-edge technology such as scRNA-Seq, scATAC-Seq, DNA chromatic accessibility and organization studies, genetic models, cell biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry on testis biology, and spermatogenesis. This book offers not only a cohesive summary of new findings and concepts in basic and clinical male reproductive research, it analyzes and assembles these concepts into a roadmap for the next decade of translational research, bringing lab discoveries to the bedside.
