1. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Aspects on immune and endocrine mechanisms
Abstract : The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a well-known side effect of ovarian stimulation for ovulation induction or for in vitro fertilisation. The syndrome is characterised by massively enlarged ovaries and a hyperpermeable/procoagulant state, giving rise to diverse symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, ascites, hypovolemia and thromboembolism.

3. The role of the prostate in androgen metabolism
Abstract : The androgenic steroid hormones are essential for the physiological development of the prostate gland and are also implicated in pathological processes such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. The systemic effect of endocrine activity in the prostate gland has so far been considered of minor importance. READ MORE

5. Novel culture systems to model testicular function and organization
Abstract : In vitro systems to model the testicular microenvironment are required to study physiology and pathology of the testis, the gonadotoxic effect of environmental and pharmaceutical chemicals, as well as to explore the mechanisms ruling spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) self-renewal and differentiation. The knowledge produced in in vitro experiments, using animal, but most importantly utilizing human models, will contribute to the discovery of safe medical treatments and might provide translational tools to treat male infertility problems.
