Assuming that this may be related to expression level of angiogenic inhibitors, we focused our study on the expression pattern of collagen 18/endostatin," researchers in Munich, Germany report. "In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry for collagen 18 and endostatin were carried out on sections of human rete testis and epididymis as well as on epididymal adenoma and human testicular tissue with or without carcinoma in situ (CIS).
