Biography
Dr. Lue's major research focus has been the genetic and hormonal regulation of spermatogenesis, and testicular stem cell biology. He has demonstrated that testicular hyperthermia enhances the suppression of spermatogenesis induced by testosterone implants in both rats and monkeys. He has characterized the XXY mouse model for investigating the most common sex chromosome aneuploidy in men–Klinefelter’s syndrome. He has been studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms of gonadal and neurobehavioral defects in XXY mice and the effects of the microenvironment on stem cell plasticity in testes and spermatogonial stem cell biology.
