Testicular Macrophages Are Guardians Of Fertility
The origin, development, and characteristics of two types of testicular macrophage have been described by a CNRS team at the Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CNRS / INSERM / Aix-Marseille University). To elucidate the nature of these immune cells, the researchers used a novel cell tracing method. Their findings were published on August 7, 2017, in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (Mossadegh-Keller N. et al., J Exp Med., 2017), and are of fundamental importance. They may help understand certain kinds of infertility in men and find new treatments for them. More
