Primary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma - Epididymis
Indian Journal of Urology, 2011 An elderly male presented with painful swelling in the right side of scrotum. He was treated with antibiotics for epididymoorchitis without any response. Ultrasound examination revealed a hypoechoic vascular mass in the tail of the epididymis.

Regulation of epithelial function, differentiation, and remodeling in the epididymis
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2016 The epididymis is a single convoluted tubule lined by a pseudostratified epithelium. Specialized epididymal epithelial cells, the so-called principal, basal, narrow, and clear cells, establish a unique luminal environment for the maturation and storage ...

Immunohistochemical detection of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in fetal and adult bovine epididymis: Release by the apocrine secretion mode? [PDF]
, 2006 Originally defined as a lymphokine inhibiting the random migration of macrophages, the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an important mediator of the host response to infection.

Different expression of B7-H3 in the caput, corpus, and cauda of the epididymis in mouse
BMC Urology, 2017 Background B7-H3, a member of the B7 family of the Ig superfamily of proteins, has been detected in the epididymis, which is a storage organ related to sperm maturation.

An atlas of human proximal epididymis reveals cell-specific functions and distinct roles for CFTR
Life Science Alliance, 2020 A coordinated process of maturation in the lumen of the epididymis is required for sperm to fertilize an egg. A single cell atlas of the human proximal epididymis reveals key cell-specific functions, regional specialization, and two roles for CFTR ...

Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS I) in the buffalo epididymis
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 The localization of neuronal nitric oxide (NOS I) in the buffalo epididymis have been investigated by nicotinamide adenite dinucleotide phosphatase-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemichemistry to the light microscope (LM) and NOS immunoistochemistry to the ...

Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in benign and malignant diseases [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is described as a useful new biomarker in ovarian cancer. As HE4 is neither tumor nor organ specific, we intensively investigated the occurrence of this protein in female and male patients with various benign ...

β-defensins and the epididymis: contrasting influences of prenatal, postnatal, and adult scenarios
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2016 β-defensins are components of host defense, with antimicrobial and pleiotropic immuno-modulatory properties. Research over the last 15 years has demonstrated abundant expression of a variety of β-defensins in the postnatal epididymis of different species.
