Abstract
This manuscript was originally written in German by one of the founding members of the field of spermatogenesis, Dr. Adolph von La Valette-St. George. Published in 1865, this important work carefully described, using samples from a wide variety of vertebrate species, essential aspects of male germ cells including the acrosome, the residual body of shed excess spermatid cytoplasm, and the flagellum. In addition, he correctly deduced that sperm formed from precursor germ cells rather than somatic cells and that their motility was due to movement of the flagellum. Here, we present an English translation and modern interpretation of one of Dr. La Valette-St. George's most important contributions from his lengthy productive academic career.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Reproduction and Development takes an integrated, systems-biology approach to understand the dynamic continuum of cellular, reproductive, and developmental processes. This journal fosters dialogue among diverse disciplines through primary research communications and educational forums, with the philosophy that fundamental findings within the life sciences result from a convergence of disciplines.
Increasingly, readers of the Journal need to be informed of diverse, yet integrated, topics impinging on their areas of interest. This requires an expansion in thinking towards non-traditional, interdisciplinary experimental design and data analysis.
