Tudor domain containing 7 (Tdrd7) is essential for dynamic ribonucleoprotein (RNP) remodeling of chromatoid bodies during spermatogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2025.
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

open access: yesGenetic Epidemiology, Volume 49, Issue 3, April 2025.
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 ...

Genome-wide association study implicates testis-sperm specific FKBP6 as a susceptibility locus for impaired acrosome reaction in stallions.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
Impaired acrosomal reaction (IAR) of sperm causes male subfertility in humans and animals. Despite compelling evidence about the genetic control over acrosome biogenesis and function, the genomics of IAR is as yet poorly understood, providing no ...

Assessment of spermatogenesis in camels via seminiferous tubule staging and testosterone profiling

open access: yesAsian Pacific Journal of Reproduction
Objective: To investigate the successive morphological stages of spermatogenesis, hormonal regulation, and testosterone profile in dromedary camel reproduction. Methods: Testicular tissue samples were obtained from 12 dromedary bull camels aged 7 to 8 at

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]

open access: yes, 2019
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.

Golgi associated RAB2 interactor protein family contributes to murine male fertility to various extents by assuring correct morphogenesis of sperm heads.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics
Sperm heads contain not only the nucleus but also the acrosome which is a distinctive cap-like structure located anterior to the nucleus and is derived from the Golgi apparatus.

Novel variants in DNAH6 cause male infertility associated with multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) and ICSI outcomes

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology
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.
