Nearly 10 years after the discovery that birds make a hormone that suppresses reproduction, neuroscientists have established that humans make it too, opening the door to development of a new class of ...

Interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems and the endocrine system in the female reproductive tract (FRT) are essential for successful reproduction and for maintaining immune ...

Microglia (immune cells) and the RANK protein are essential for triggering puberty and maintaining fertility in the brain.
