FTO regulates mRNA stability and translational efficiency through its m6A‐demethylation activity. GSK3 functions as an upstream regulator of FTO, leading to its inhibition via phosphorylation. In male germ cells, FTO activity is kept in check by GSK3α.

Calcium ionophore A23187 versus progesterone: induction of acrosome reaction in thawed and prepared cryopreserved semen samples [PDF]
Background: Acrosome reaction facilitates fertilization and it can be induced in-vitro using various stimuli like progesterone, calcium ionophore A23187, prostaglandins, etc.

Capacitation of mouse sperm is modulated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentration
In mammals, ejaculated sperm acquire their fertilizing ability during migration through the female reproductive tract, which secretes several factors that contribute to sperm capacitation.

Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Possible Role of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Glutamate Receptors in The Induction of Acrosome Reaction in Human Sperm [PDF]
Objective: Acrosome reaction is a receptor and Ca2+-dependent process. N-Methyl-D- aspartate (NMDA) glutamatereceptors are expressed in the human sperm and are involved in the Ca2+ influx.

Effects of thyroxine (T) and nano‐melatonin (NM) supplementation on cryopreserved Simmental bull semen were evaluated. The combination of thyroxine (0.5 µg/dL) and nano‐melatonin (30 µg/dL) significantly improved post‐thaw sperm motility, membrane integrity, antioxidant status, and fertility while reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis. These findings

Regulation of the sperm EGF receptor by ouabain leads to initiation of the acrosome reaction [PDF]
The sperm acrosome reaction occurs after the binding of the capacitated sperm to the egg zona pellucida. This study describes a novel mode of regulation of the sperm epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) under physiological conditions and its relevance

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.
