New proudly published papers

Updated: Feb 19, 2021

Our group has published an exciting number of new papers in the last 12 months. From the development of innovative techniques to the characterisation of functional pathways, the Smith Lab continues to make strides in the field of endocrinology. Follow the links below to discover more about what we have been up to!

The following paper has also gained some media interest, read all about it here.

"Sperm proteins and cancer-testis-antigens are released by the seminiferous tubules in mice and men" 2021, O'Donnell & Rebourcet et al.
