Molecular Pathways Involved in Stallion Sperm Capacitation

open access: yes
After ejaculation, mammalian spermatozoa must undergo a series of complex and poorly understood cellular events known as “capacitation” in order to be able to fertilize an oocyte.

The Pitfalls of Ethnic Aggregation: Iranians And Afghans, And The Problem Of ‘West Asian’ Category In Canada

open access: yesCanadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie, Volume 63, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In the Canadian community of official statistics producers and users, there has been an ongoing debate about the feasibility of using ‘visible minority’ categories to capture the experiences of Canada's racial minorities. Rarely, however, has this issue been examined from a factual angle; that is, the success of those categories in capturing ...

Cryptorchidism: Novel genetic insights into CCDC149 mutations

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 1155-1163, July 2026.
Abstract Background Cryptorchidism, characterized by the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum, is a common congenital condition that can lead to infertility and increased risk of testicular cancer. CCDC149, a coiled‐coil domain‐containing protein, has been implicated in various developmental processes, but its role in the male ...

Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 1240-1248, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.

Effect of Osteopontin on Bovine Sperm Capacitation.

open access: yes, 2007
We evaluated the effects of osteopontin (OPN) on bovine sperm capacitation in vitro. Frozen-thawed sperm from a bull previously tested for IVF were separated by Percoll and incubated in TALP medium without capacitating agents (control, N = 494) and in ...

Pig Seminal Plasma Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Motility During Preservation of Epididymal Spermatozoa but Impair Capacitation and IVF Parameters

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 1249-1260, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by accessory sex glands play a key role in sperm functionality, influencing motility, viability, acrosome integrity, metabolic activity, and capacitation. Most studies on the effects of EVs on spermatozoa have focused on ejaculated spermatozoa, which have already been exposed to their own native
