The identity and behavior of mouse spermatogenic stem cells have been a long-standing focus of interest. In the prevailing “As model,” stem cell function is restricted to singly isolated (As) spermatogonia. By examining single-cell dynamics of GFRα1+ stem cells in vivo, we evaluate an alternative hypothesis that, through fragmentation, syncytial spermatogonia also contribute to stem cell function in homeostasis. We use live imaging and pulse labeling to quantitatively determine the fates of individual GFRα1+ cells and find that, during steady-state spermatogenesis, the entire GFRα1+ population comprises a single stem cell pool, in which cells continually interconvert between As and syncytial states. A minimal biophysical model, relying only on the rates of incomplete cell division and syncytial fragmentation, precisely predicts the stochastic fates of GFRα1+ cells during steady state and postinsult regeneration. Thus, our results define an alternative and dynamic model for spermatogenic stem cell function in the mouse testis. GFRα1+ spermatogonia comprise a single stem cell pool during homeostasis GFRα1+ spermatogonia interconvert between singly isolated and syncytial states Rates of incomplete division and syncytial fragmentation govern stem cell dynamics Movement of GFRα1+ spermatogonia is essential for stem cell population asymmetry Hara et al. examine spermatogenic stem cell dynamics and demonstrate that spermatogonia can interconvert between functionally equivalent singly isolated and syncytial stem cell states during steady-state spermatogenesis.
