Project 9 - Targeting the TGFβ superfamily to prevent fibrosis of the epididymis and preserve fertility following bacterial infection
- Targeting the TGFβ superfamily to prevent fibrosis of the epididymis and preserve fertility following bacterial infection
-
Aims:
To delineate the pathomechanism of fibrotic transformation of the epididymis, focussing on the role of TGFβ superfamily members and epididymal cell types, and identify treatment options to preserve fertility.
2013 – 2017:
Roles of activin and follistatin in obstruction and tissue repair following epididymitis - mechanisms for preserving fertility
