The nuage is a germ cell-specific organelle that has been studied for more than a hundred years. It was first discovered in spermatogenic cells as a perinuclear granule stained by basic dyes and visualized using a light microscope. Morphological studies using electron microscopes demonstrated that ”chromatoid body (CB)” is a nuage component in spermatids, and that “inter-mitochondrial cement (IMC)” is another nuage component found in spermatocytes. During meiosis, the IMC disappears, but the CB soon reforms in post-meiotic spermatids. Recent morphological and molecular biological studies have identified many components of nuage, and suggest that they play roles in the silencing, decay, and storage of RNA, and in the aggresome system. In this report, we summarize recent findings related to nuage and discuss their functions in spermatogenic cells.
