Sertoli cells and niche in seminiferous tubules of buffalo testes under transmission electron microscopy. A-B, The shape of Sertoli cells is irregular, and heterochromatin is abundant; C, the SSCs are surrounded by Sertoli cells, which form a niche structure; D, the SSCs in testes have spherical mitochondria and few mitochondrial cristae.

Context 1

... transmission electron microscopy observation of buffalo SSCs showed that the SSCs in testicular samples were tightly adhered to the basement membrane (Fig. 6C), with low electron density, light staining and a diameter of approximately 20 μm. The intracellular genetic material was in a chromatin state with few or no nucleolus and few heterochromatins distributed evenly in the nucleus. Mitochondria were spherical and not abundant in cristae (Fig. 6D), the number of other organelles was not ...

The intracellular genetic material was in a chromatin state with few or no nucleolus and few heterochromatins distributed evenly in the nucleus. Mitochondria were spherical and not abundant in cristae (Fig. 6D), the number of other organelles was not high, and the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus were relatively rare. Sertoli cells were usually irregular (Fig. 6A, B), with higher electron density, deeper staining than SSCs, a lower nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, more heterochromatin, distribution in the nucleoplasm, partly near the ...

SSCs were surrounded by Sertoli cells, forming a microenvironment for the growth and differentiation of the SSC niche (Fig. 6C). In SSC samples cultured in vitro, due to the influence of culture conditions and sampling methods, SSCs were spherical with a diameter a little smaller than those of SSCs in testes, approximately 15 μm (Fig. 7A, B). SSCs had no or few nucleoli, light chromatin staining, abundant euchromatin and very few heterochromatins. Mitochondria ...
