Overview

Sertoli cells are a type of support cell found in the testes of mammals that play an important role in male reproduction. They help maintain the environment for sperm cells to mature and provide nutrients for developing sperm. Sertoli cells also produce hormone-like substances that stimulate the development of sperm and secrete inhibitor molecules that prevent the maturation of female germ cells in the male's body. In addition, they have the ability to respond to testosterone levels and regulate the production of other hormones important for fertility. Sertoli cells are vital for normal male fertility, and are critical for sperm health, development, and production.
