The epididymis is a tiny but critical organ that connects the testicles to the vas deferens, mediating the discharge of mature sperm from the testes. Sperm maturation processes in the epididymis are essential for natural reproduction. The anatomy of the epididymis has been controversial, with differing epididymal compartmentalization schemes and testing indicators leading to different results. Stable and reproducible partitioning methods and sensitive, high-specificity technologies are needed to clarify the sperm-regulating mechanisms of the epididymis... View More»
