It has been one and a half centuries since Enrico Sertoli published the seminal discovery of
the testicular 'nurse cell', not only a key cell in the testis, but indeed one of the most amazing …

Testicular germ cells, which appear after the establishment of central tolerance, express
novel cell surface and intracellular proteins that can be recognized as 'foreign antigens' by …

Throughout embryonic and early postnatal development, the mammalian epididymis
changes from a straight tube to a highly coiled, complex duct that links the efferent ducts to …

Peptides are emerging as a new tool in drug and gene delivery. Peptide-drug conjugates
and peptide-modified drug delivery systems provide new opportunities to avoid macrophage …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely produced for different industrial purposes.
Recently, biogenic synthesis of AgNPs has emerged although the extent of effects from …

Transport of germ cells across the seminiferous epithelium is crucial to spermatogenesis. Its
disruption causes infertility. Signaling molecules, such as focal adhesion kinase, c-Yes, c …

Infertile men have few treatment options. Here, we demonstrate that the transmembrane
receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL) signaling system is active in mouse and human …

The epididymis is a single convoluted tubule lined by a pseudostratified epithelium.
Specialized epididymal epithelial cells, the so-called principal, basal, narrow, and clear …

In the seminiferous epithelium of rat testes, preleptotene spermatocytes residing in the basal
compartment are transported across the blood-testis barrier (BTB) to enter the adluminal …

This review addresses the complex relationships that exist between spermatozoa and the
immune system and highlights the role of oxidative stress in regulating the direction and …
