Transient increases in intracellular calcium and reactive oxygen species levels in TCam-2 cells exposed to microgravity [PDF]
The effects of microgravity on functions of the human body are well described, including alterations in the male and female reproductive systems. In the present study, TCam-2 cells, which are considered a good model of mitotically active male germ cells,

Testicular germ-cell tumours and penile squamous cell carcinoma: Appropriate management makes the difference [PDF]
Germ-cell tumours (GCT) of the testis and penile squamous cell carcinoma (PeSCC) are a rare and a very rare uro-genital cancers, respectively. Both tumours are well defined entities in terms of management, where specific recommendations - in the form of ...

Clinical presentation, management and follow-up of 83 patients with Leydig cell tumors of the testis: a prospective case-cohort study [PDF]
LCTs are more frequent than generally believed, are associated with male infertility, cryptorchidism and gynecomastia, and should be treated conservatively (in compliant patients) with active surveillance, which appears to be a safe alternative to ...

Clusterin suppresses invasion and metastasis of testicular seminoma by upregulating COL15a1
Seminoma is the most common subtype of testicular germ cell tumor, with an increasing incidence worldwide. Clusterin (CLU) expression was found to be downregulated in testicular seminoma in our previous study. We now expanded the sample size, and further

Two decades of FDG-PET/CT in seminoma: exploring its role in diagnosis, surveillance and follow-up
Background Survivors of testicular cancer may experience long-term morbidity following treatment. There is an unmet need to investigate techniques that can differentiate individuals who need additional therapy from those who do not.
