Abstract

Interactions between cells are crucial for the normal physiology of any organ or tissue. In this article, the best known physical and structural cellular interactions present in the testis is discussed, focusing particularly in the junctions/interactions among the cells present in the seminiferous epithelium (i.e., Sertoli and germ cells) and the cells located in the interstitial/intertubular compartment such as Leydig cells and macrophage. As it can be noticed, these interactions provide the production of hormones and the adequate progression of spermatogenesis.
