New research presented today at the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology meeting has found a genetic region, which may control testicle development in the foetus. Men have XY sex chromosomes, ...
In boys with undescended testis, the risk of developing infertility is traditionally predicted based on a decrease in germ cell count observed using testicular biopsy samples. However, the process of ...
Thyroid hormones (THs) are well known to play a crucial role in the development of the central nervous system and in the regulation of cellular differentiation and metabolism 1,2. Both prohormone, ...
Correct development of testes in a male fetus—and fertility later in life—depend on a crucial hormone being at just the right level. It's known that low levels of the growth factor activin A will ...
The testis is responsible for sperm production and testosterone synthesis. Abnormalities in testis development and function lead to disorders of sex development (DSD) and male infertility. Currently, ...
The testis, an important reproductive organ, is involved in spermatogenesis and steroid hormone secretion and has been the subject of a wide variety of studies. Pigs are often used as model animals ...

In prenatal ultrasounds or at delivery, many new parents look between their baby’s legs: the presence of a penis is taken as a strong sign that it’s a boy. For humans and other animals, development of ...
