In mammals, the timing of meiosis entry is regulated by signals from the gonadal environment. All-<i>trans</i> retinoic acid (ATRA) signaling is considered the key pathway that promotes <i>Stra8</i> (<i>stimulated by retinoic acid 8</i>) expression and, in turn, meiosis entry. This model, however, is debated because it is based on analyzing the effects of exogenous ATRA on ex vivo gonadal cultures, which not accurately reflects the role of endogenous ATRA. <i>Aldh1a1</i> and <i>Aldh1a2,</i> two ...[more]
