Laboratory for Reproductive Endocrinology and Signaling (LaRES)

 

Research activities of LaRES laboratory are related to cell signaling in reproductive endocrinology. The current research activities are oriented to studies of some aspects of the mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in the adaptation of Leydig cells function to conditions of disturbed homeostasis of organism.
