The endocrine system is made up of glands and tissues that produce hormones, the role of which is to coordinate and regulate vital functions in the human body. This seventh article of an eight-part ...

Adrenal tissue can be found in the testes of 7.5% to 15% of normal neonates, but usually regresses with time. In the situation of chronically high ACTH, the small adrenal remnants in the testes become ...

The COVID-19 virus hijacks the machinery of testicular cells that produce the hormone testosterone in order to replicate. It also appropriates the metabolic pathways of these cells and cholesterol, a ...

Researchers at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) have generated mature sperm from frozen testicular tissue for the first time. Their findings were published in PLOS ONE today. The ...

University of New Mexico researchers have detected significant concentrations of microplastics in the testicular tissue of both humans and dogs, adding to growing concern about their possible effect ...

Scientists have detected "significant concentrations" of microplastics in tissue from human testicles, raising concerns about their effects on reproductive health. Microplastics refer to any plastics ...

A breakthrough study published in PLoS Biology demonstrates that rat testis tissue frozen for over 20 years can be successfully transplanted into infertile mice to regenerate and produce sperms.

The diversity in growth and morphological characteristics among endothelial cells in different normal tissues and tumors has been long recognized. Yet there has been no clear molecular explanation for ...

Although insulin-producing cells are found in the endocrine tissue of the pancreas, a new mouse study suggests that abnormalities in the exocrine tissue could cause cell non-autonomous effects that ...

The endocrine system comprises glands and tissues that produce and secrete hormones to regulate and coordinate vital functions of the human body. This article â the seventh in an eight-part series on ...
