Andronet COST Action 20119 @Andronet_COST@qoto.org

The countdown has started to the European Congress of Andrology #ECA2024, which will kick-off next wednesday with an Andronet sponsored pre-congress course. We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm!

@Andronet_COST member Tzviya Zeev-Ben-Mordehai is looking for two talented PhD students to join her group within frame of an #ERC funded project on spermiogenesis.

How much do young people know about #Andrology?
Ciència Oberta collaborated with @Andronet_COST and walked around Barcelona to find out 🎙️📽️

The Network for Young Researchers in Andrology is holding their annual meeting in Brussels from the 27th to 29th of May 2024 in collaboration with the European Academy of Andrology.
https://nyra-youngresearch.eu/16th-nyra-meeting/
The abstract deadline is the 19th of April (nyra-youngresearch.eu and the registration deadline is the 26th of April (https://nyra-youngresearch.eu/16th-nyra-meeting-registration-form/)
This is an excellent opportunity to any early career researchers in #andrology and #reproduction to meet, network, and present their work.

Congratulations to #Andronet member Hubert Schorle for his two recent publications:
Actl7b deficiency leads to mislocalization of LC8 type dynein light chains and disruption of murine spermatogenesis https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.201593
Cylicins are a structural component of the sperm calyx being indispensable for male fertility in mice and human https://elifesciences.org/articles/86100
this last one having multiple Andronet members in the author list.

Call to action on male infertility research
Several #Andronet members are co-authors of this Expert Recommendation on @NatRevUrol

"Frequency, morbidity and equity - the case for increased research on male fertility"
https://lnkd.in/eHQvVZ2s

Did you know that most men with #infertility don't receive a causal diagnosis? This is caused by a lack of knowledge around the factors responsible for male infertility. What is more, treatment options are limited and not individualised. Often, the burden of male infertility is simply transferred to the female partner during medically assisted reproduction. On the other hand, lack of rigorous research into male fertility also results in a relative lack of male contraceptives. In this article the authors identify the most pressing questions currently facing #andrology and make specific recommendations for action. Congratulations to the authors on this important piece of work 👏

A special feature of European Testis Workshops are the short talks. In just 3 minutes young and experienced researchers have the chance to present their latest work. These sessions can be exhausting but are always very rewarding
#ETW2023

The Andronet co-organised European Testis Workshop #ETW2023 is underway! Until Thursday there will be a lot of science and interaction between researchers studying testis.

It's good to see Human Reproduction in the spotlight @ScienceMagazine
There's still a long way to go, most of all on male infertility and contraception.

Modern medicine has allowed for unprecedented control of reproductive decisions and health, but major limitations remain in both scientific knowledge and healthcare access.
