Proliferation and Differentiation of Testicular Interstitial Cells: Aspects of Leydig Cell Development in the (Pre)Puber

It has been known for several decades that the gonadotrophine luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are required for the normal growth and differentiation of Leydig cells and Sertoli cells, respectively (Greep et al. 1936; Christ

Preface

The European Workshops on Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology of the Testis have become by now a well-established tradition. Thanks to their special format, the quality of the main lectures and miniposters, and the vivid discussions, they enjoy the ever-increasing interest and active participation of all European scientists working in the field. Moreover, since the very beginning they have attracted investigators from all over the world. The most recent "Testis Workshop" was held in De Panne, Belgium, from 27-3\ March, 1994. As always, the framework of the workshop was provided by a se
