The follistatin protein has important functions throughout the body. Recent studies using mutant mice have identified key roles for follistatin in the development and function of the female reproductive system (ovary, uterus). We will now undertake detailed studies to determine how follistatin regulates these processes. This is relevant to our understanding of the mechanisms causing infection and inflammation in the reproductive tract.

卵泡抑素蛋白在整个身体中具有重要的功能。最近使用突变小鼠的研究已经确定了卵泡抑素在女性生殖系统（卵巢，子宫）的发育和功能中的关键作用。我们现在将进行详细的研究，以确定卵泡抑素如何调节这些过程。这与我们对生殖道感染和炎症机制的理解有关。
