Effects of Nitric Oxide on Renal Proximal Tubular Na+ Transport.

abstract：:Unipotent spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) can be transformed into ESC-like cells that exhibit pluripotency in vitro. However, except for mouse models, their characterization and their origins have remained controversies in other models including humans. This controversy has arisen primarily from the lack of the direc...
