    A single-cell atlas of the testicular interstitium defines Leydig progenitor networks sustaining Leydig cell homeostasis across the lifespan

    Xiaojia Huang, Kai Xia ... Wei Zhao
    Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the murine testicular interstitium across the lifespan reveals Cd34+/Sox4+ mesenchymal cells as Leydig progenitors, whose aging-associated decline in glutathione and Sox4-regulated regenerative capacity inform potential therapeutic strategies for age-related testicular dysfunction.
