Mechanism of Acrosome Biogenesis in Mammals
During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes fuse to form the zygote, and the acrosome is essential to this fusion process (fertilization) in animals.

Acrosome intactness of spermatozoa is the critical factor for establishing sperm reservoir in oviduct and for fertilizing an oocyte. However, frozen thawed spermatozoa tend to show higher proportion of acrosome reacted spermatozoa thereby compromising ...

Characterization of a monoclonal antibody that induces the acrosome reaction of sea urchin sperm. [PDF]
A monoclonal antibody, J18/29, induces the acrosome reaction (AR) in spermatozoa of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. J18/29 induces increases in both intracellular Ca2+ and intracellular pH similar to those occurring upon induction of the AR

Effects of Caffeic Acid Supplementation on Human Sperm Against In Vitro-Induced Oxidative Stress: Nrf2 Molecular Pathway [PDF]
Oxidative stress (OS) is a major cause of defective sperm function. During laboratory handling, gametes are exposed to OS, potentially mitigated by in vitro antioxidant supplementation.

Role of the Ca2+-ATPase Pump (SERCA) in Capacitation and the Acrosome Reaction of Cryopreserved Bull Spermatozoa [PDF]
Cryopreservation of sperm is a resource used for artificial insemination. In the case of bovines, it ensures the reproduction of animals through cells from males with a highlighted genetic background. The fertilisation capacity of sperm cells is achieved

Hypoosmotic Test Combined with Coomassie Blue Staining in Llama Sperm [PDF]
To stablish sperm fertilization capacity membrane integrity and functionality are important characteristics to determine. The objectives of the present study were: 1) to evaluate the functionality of the plasma membrane over time by the hypoosmotic test (
