In conclusion, the information available indicates that the interactions between different cell types in the testis play an important role in the control and maintenance of testicular functions. Further characterization of these interactions will clearly provide insight into the cell biology of the testis and into the regulation of cellular differentiation, function, and growth. It is apparent that no testicular cell type is autonomous, but that there is communication and cooperation between all cell types in the testis.
总之，现有信息表明，睾丸中不同细胞类型之间的相互作用在睾丸功能的控制和维持中发挥着重要作用。对这些相互作用的进一步表征将明确为睾丸细胞生物学以及细胞分化、功能和生长的调控提供深入见解。显然，睾丸中没有任何一种细胞类型是自主的，而是睾丸中所有细胞类型之间都存在交流与合作。
