Long Non-Coding RNA lncXIRP1 Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Pig Leydig Cells
Leydig cells (LCs) originate from stem Leydig cells (SLCs) and synthesize testosterone, a hormone indispensable for the development, sustenance, and functionality of the male reproductive system.Accumulating evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in animal reproductive processes, yet the functional contributions of
