Spermatogenesis relies on an intimate relationship between developing spermatogenic cells and Sertoli cells. A surface‐expressed isoform of CEACAM2 (green) on elongating spermtids is used to maintain contact with Sertoli cells (red, tubulin, and their nuclei in blue, DAPI) shown here in stained frozen sections of mouse seminiferous tubules by Salaheldeen et al. (this issue).
