    Although many studies have focused on SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lungs, comparatively little is known about the potential effects of the virus on male fertility. SARS-CoV-2 infection of target cells requires the presence of furin, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2). Thus, cells in the body that express these proteins might be highly…

    Serum PSA testing can identify men with clinically significant prostate cancer but exposes many more men to the diagnosis of indolent tumours. Benafif and colleagues have published the results of the BARCODE1 pilot study, in which they propose using germline single-nucleotide polymorphisms to identify men with a genetic risk of developing prostate cancer. Based on their preliminary findings,…

    Balancing diversity on panels at academic medical conferences demonstrates a commitment to the principles of diversity and inclusion. However, it seems we have a long way to go in urology, where two-thirds of sessions at major urology meetings still consist of all-male speaker panels.

    Senescent cells and their secretome — the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) — cause a systemic pro-inflammatory state, contributing to an inflammatory microenvironment. In this article, the authors discuss the presence of senescent cells and the SASP in the ageing prostate and the evidence for a role of senescence in BPH and prostate cancer, as well as possible therapeutic…
