Sperm cells

Caption

Sperm, pictured inside the cross-sectioned tube of the epididymis, were not generated while mice took the HDAC inhibitor drug (top right), but after 60 days off the drug, spermatogenesis was recovered (bottom right). The left column shows sperm at the same time points in a mouse that did not receive the drug.
