Inflammatory networks in control of spermatogenesis for disease
Inflammatory networks in control of spermatogenesis for disease is a Research Project for the Endocrinology and Immunophysiology Research Group, under the Centre for Reproductive Health.
Project Leader
Cytokines and other inflammatory mediators play an important, yet poorly studied role in testicular function and its regulation. The team is addressing several important questions to further understanding in this area:
- Are inflammatory networks in the testis essential for fertility?
- How does the testis recognise and respond to infections and inflammation?
- Is there a link between inflammation of the male reproductive tract and male infertility?
