Brief description Male reproductive disease is a serious health issue for many men and their partners. Worldwide, malformations of the male reproductive organs are increasing, infections and chronic inflammation of the genitourinary tract beset sexually active men and aging men, and infertility afflicts one in seven couples desiring children. The causes underlying these conditions are not well-understood. These studies are intended to identify new approaches for preventing and treating these conditions.
