Abstract
In conclusion, the information available indicates that the interactions between different cell types in the testis play an important role in the control and maintenance of testicular functions. Further characterization of these interactions will clearly provide insight into the cell biology of the testis and into the regulation of cellular differentiation, function, and growth. It is apparent that no testicular cell type is autonomous, but that there is communication and cooperation between all cell types in the testis.Keywords
