Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention relates to a method for constructing a urethral in vitro development model of genital tuberculosis organ culture. Background technique:
[0002] The pathogenesis of hypospadias is multifactorial and the mechanism is complicated. Genetic factors are one of the reasons for the occurrence of hypospadias. However, in recent years, the increase of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the environment, especially the increase of estrogen intake is considered to be the reason for the incidence of hypospadias. A key factor of the increase, we have successfully established an animal model of estrogen-induced hypospadias to study the relationship between some endocrine disrupting chemicals and penile development, especially revealing the mechanism is crucial for the prevention and treatment of hypospadias , but there is currently a lack of relevant tools for the study of penis development. Animal model studies are effective but inconvenient. The devel...
