Is prolactin involved in sperm capacitation?

open access: yes, 1979
Immunoreactive prolactin in high concentration was detected in the human semen. Therefore, the effect of prolactin on the various metabolic parameters of the human spermatozoa was studied. It was found that prolactin brought about many of the biochemical

‘Everything is a signal’: speaking circuits and noisy signs in the making of language‐oriented AI « Tout est signal » : circuits parlants et signes bruyants dans la création de l'IA orientée langage

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.

The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

Regulation of Sperm Capacitation and the Acrosome Reaction by PIP 2 and Actin Modulation

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
Actin polymerization and development of hyperactivated (HA) motility are two processes that take place during sperm capacitation. Actin polymerization occurs during capacitation and prior to the acrosome reaction, fast F-actin breakdown takes place.

Proteins implicated in sperm capacitation

open access: yes, 2005
1001-1015Spermatozoa after being deposited in the female reproductive tract spend a considerable time in this foreign environment prior to fertilization of the oocyte.

Recent progress in studies of the last million years of human physical and behavioural evolution Avancées récentes dans l’étude du dernier million d'années d’évolution physique et éthologique de l'espèce humaine

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article presents a synthesis of recent developments in the study of human evolution over the past five years. It begins with an overview of hominin species nomenclature and diversity, followed by an examination of the proposed population bottleneck ∼900,000 years ago.

Effect of capacitation on the endocannabinoid system of mouse sperm

open access: yes, 2011
The presence of the elements of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in sperm isolated from several species (from invertebrates to mammals, humans included) has supported the ‘‘evolutionary theory’’ that proposes endocannabinoids as check points in ...

Plant Variety Registration in Transition: Opportunities for Innovation and Reform in The European Union Enregistrement des variétés végétales en transition : opportunités d’innovation et de réforme dans l’Union européenne Die Registrierung von Pflanzensorten im Wandel: Chancen für Innovation und Neugestaltung in der Europäischen Union

open access: yesEuroChoices, EarlyView.
Summary Modernising the European Union’s plant variety registration system is critical to enabling the development and adoption of sustainable, climate‐resilient varieties aligned with the EU Farm‐to‐Fork Strategy. However, the current system is outdated and under increasing pressure. While legislative reform is underway, key points of divergence among

Fluorescent analysis of boar sperm capacitation process in vitro

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2019
Background Capacitation involves physiological changes that spermatozoa must undergo in the female reproductive tract or in vitro to obtain the ability to bind, penetrate and fertilize the egg.

Membrane remodelling events occurring during mammalian spermatozoa capacitation: A systems biology study

open access: yes, 2015
Immediately after ejaculation, mammalian spermatozoa are unable to fertilize the homologous oocyte. They reach their fertilizing ability only after they reside for hours to days, depending on the species, within the female genital tract.
