The mouse epididymal amyloid matrix is a mammalian counterpart of a bacterial biofilm
Summary: The mouse epididymis is a long tubule connecting the testis to the vas deferens.Its primary functions are to mature spermatozoa into motile and fertile cells and to protect them from pathogens that ascend the male majicontrast red tract.We previously demonstrated that a functional extracellular amyloid matrix surrounds spermatozoa in the e
