This study investigates how intercalated cells interact with immune cells to maintain renal immune homeostasis and contribute to autoimmune kidney disease, identifying an IL-33-mediated Treg interaction.

This study shows that chronic inflammation in the epididymis leads to tertiary lymphoid structure formation and autoimmune fertility issues in mice, with similar autoantibodies found in human infertile patients.

This study investigates the role of proton-secreting cells in epididymitis, showing they modulate immune responses and impair sperm maturation in mice.

This study shows that using human stem cell-derived ovarian support cells for in vitro maturation in mice leads to healthy live births without reprotoxic effects across generations.

The paper describes the development of a clinical-grade hiPSC-derived ovarian support cell protocol to improve in vitro maturation of oocytes and embryo formation.

This study shows that co-culturing human oocytes with ovarian support cells improves in vitro maturation rates and blastocyst formation compared to standard IVM methods.

This study shows that co-culturing immature human oocytes with hiPSC-derived ovarian support cells improves in vitro maturation rates and transcriptomic similarity to in vivo matured oocytes.
