Tudor domain containing 7 (Tdrd7) is essential for dynamic ribonucleoprotein (RNP) remodeling of chromatoid bodies during spermatogenesis [PDF]
In the male germline in mammals, chromatoid bodies, a specialized assembly of cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein (RNP), are structurally evident during meiosis and haploidgenesis, but their developmental origin and regulation remain elusive.

Deciphering the Contribution of Circular RNAs to Age‐Related Decline in Sertoli Cell Survivor
Sertoli cell survival is regulated by circAbcb9‐ceRNET. Physiologically, the circAbcb9 sponge activity toward miR‐214‐3p ensures the expression of SOX8 and NOTCH2 targets, both crucial in maintaining SC homeostasis. The aging process negatively affects FUS‐dependent backsplicing activity in Sertoli cells leading to circAbcb9 downregulation, and in turn,

Parent‐of‐Origin Effects in Childhood Asthma at Seven Years of Age
ABSTRACT Childhood asthma is more common among children whose mothers have asthma than among those whose fathers have asthma. The reasons for this are unknown, and we hypothesize that genomic imprinting may partly explain this observation. Our aim is to assess parent‐of‐origin (PoO) effects on childhood asthma by analyzing SNP array genotype data from ...

Orexin A-Mediated Modulation of Reproductive Activities in Testis of Normal and Cryptorchid Dogs: Possible Model for Studying Relationships Between Energy Metabolism and Reproductive Control [PDF]
Orexin A (OxA) is a neuropeptide produced in the lateral hypothalamus that performs pleiotropic functions in different tissues, including involvement in energy homeostasis and reproductive neuroendocrine functions.

Variations in the dynein axonemal heavy chain gene, dynein axonemal heavy chain 6 (DNAH6), lead to multiple morphological abnormalities of the flagella. Recent studies have reported that these deficiencies may result in sperm head deformation.
