The homing ability of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) allows them to migrate into niches after being transplantated into infertile testes. Transplanted SSCs attach to Sertoli cells and transmigrate through the blood-testis barrier (BTB), formed by inter-Sertoli tight junctions, toward niches on the basement membrane. The most critical step is the passage through the BTB, which limits the homing efficiency to
