STAGES is an analytical tool developed to aid the pathologist/
toxicologist in tracking germ cells through time in the cycle
of the seminiferous epithelium. The program has been designed
for use in experiments with the testis of various animals, and
incorporates the basic kinetics of spermatogenesis.
Given a cell in the cycle, STAGES can predict its position after
a specified period of time, either forward or backward.
Use of STAGES can reduce the time required to determine the fate
of damaged germ cells, or to determine the original target of a
toxin for a given effect observed post-treatment.
For more detailed information, please refer to:
Rex A. Hess & Paul Chen, "Computer Tracking of Germ Cells in the
Cycle of the Seminiferous Epithelium and Prediction of Changes
in Cycle Duration in Animals Commonly Used in Reproductive
Biology and Toxicology," J. Andrology 1992; 13:185.
