Depletion of CX3CR1+ macrophages results in disrupted functionality and immune surveillance within epididymis and testis

D. Ai, Linda Kreyling, María Agustina Battistone, Maia Lina Elizagaray, A. Chen, S. Bhushan, Monika Fijak, Martin Speckmann, G. Michel, Tara Procida‐Kowalski, Marek Bartkuhn, M. Sprang, Johannes U. Mayer, A. Meinhardt, Christiane Pleuger

This study shows that CX3CR1+ macrophages are essential for maintaining immune balance and epithelial integrity in the epididymis and testis, with their depletion leading to immune dysfunction and fertility issues.

Iron regulatory proteins 1 and 2 have opposing roles in regulating inflammation in bacterial orchitis

N. Ghatpande, A. Harrer, B. Azoulay, N. Guttmann-Raviv, S. Bhushan, A. Meinhardt, E. G. Meyron-Holtz

This study shows that IRP1 deletion reduces inflammation and testicular damage in UPEC-induced orchitis, while IRP2 deletion increases inflammation.
