1. Paracrine regulation of Sertoli cell proliferation
Abstract : The Sertoli cell is a highly differentiated somatic cell in the seminiferous epithelium of the testis. This cell is of prime importance for both testicular development and spermatogenesis. READ MORE

2. GABA in the islets of Langerhans
Abstract : GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is a well-known inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS. GABA is also present at high concentrations in the insulin-producing β-cells in the islets of Langerhans, but its function there is less clear. GABA is believed to accumulate in SLMVs (synaptic-like microvesicles). READ MORE

3. Regulation of Fibroblast Activity by Keratinocytes
Abstract : In the healing of cutaneous wounds, paracrine communication between keratinocytes and fibroblasts regulates cell differentiation, proliferation and synthesis of extracellular matrix. Deficient epidermal coverage, as seen in burn-wounds, frequently results in hypertrophic scars. READ MORE

4. Autocrine and paracrine regulation of Leydig cell survival in the postnatal testis
Abstract : The primary function of testicular Leydig cells is the production of androgens that promote sexual differentiation in the fetus, secondary sexual maturation at the. time of puberty, and spermatogenesis in the adult. READ MORE

5. Hormonal and paracrine influences on Leydig cell steroidogenesis
Abstract : Androgen production by Leydig cells is critical for development of the male reproductive organs and for maintaining normal body homeostasis and fertility later in life. Biosynthesis of testosterone is driven by secretion of the gonadotropin, luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary. READ MORE
