title: [Regulation of spermatogenic cells apoptosis by genes].
abstract: Apoptosis of spermatogenic cells is an important physiological mechanism that keeps spermatogenesis homeostatic and restricts germ cells amount in seminiferous epithelium and is regulated and controlled by multi-factors. This article summarized recent studies on regulation of cells apoptosis by hormone, genes and various physical and chemical factors in spermatogenesis.
