Human asthenozoospermia: Update on genetic causes, patient management, and clinical strategies
Abstract Background In mammals, sperm fertilization potential relies on efficient progression within the female genital tract to reach and fertilize the oocyte. This fundamental property is supported by the flagellum, an evolutionarily conserved organelle, which contains dynein motor proteins that provide the mechanical force for sperm propulsion and ...

Centrioles organise centrosomes and template cilia and flagella. Several centriole and centrosome proteins have been linked to microcephaly (MCPH), a neuro-developmental disease associated with small brain size. CPAP (MCPH6) and STIL (MCPH7) are required

Centrioles and Ciliary Structures during Male Gametogenesis in Hexapoda: Discovery of New Models
Centrioles are-widely conserved barrel-shaped organelles present in most organisms. They are indirectly involved in the organization of the cytoplasmic microtubules both in interphase and during the cell division by recruiting the molecules needed for ...

Distinct mechanisms eliminate mother and daughter centrioles in meiosis of starfish oocytes [PDF]
Centriole elimination is an essential process that occurs in female meiosis of metazoa to reset centriole number in the zygote at fertilization. How centrioles are eliminated remains poorly understood.

Exploring the role of fallopian ciliated cells in the pathogenesis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer [PDF]
High-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women and the first among gynecological malignancies. Despite an initial response to standard chemotherapy, most HGSOC patients relapse.

The Heterotaxy Gene CCDC11 Is Important for Cytokinesis via RhoA Regulation
ABSTRACT Mutations in CCDC11 (cfap53) have been identified in multiple patients with heterotaxy (Htx), a disorder of left–right (LR) patterning of the internal organs. In Xenopus, depletion of Ccdc11 causes defects in LR patterning, recapitulating the patient phenotype. Upon Ccdc11 depletion, monociliated cells of the Left–Right Organizer (LRO) exhibit

As a pivotal microRNA (miRNA), miR‐4284 exhibits noteworthy aberrant expression levels across various cancers and diseases, exerting a crucial role in modulating cancer progression and prognosis. Additionally, the article reviews the potential correlations between miR‐4284 and various contemporary treatment modalities, including but not limited to the ...

WDR90 is a centriolar microtubule wall protein important for centriole architecture integrity
Centrioles are characterized by a nine-fold arrangement of microtubule triplets held together by an inner protein scaffold. These structurally robust organelles experience strenuous cellular processes such as cell division or ciliary beating while ...

Zebrafish: a vertebrate tool for studying basal body biogenesis, structure, and function. [PDF]
Understanding the role of basal bodies (BBs) during development and disease has been largely overshadowed by research into the function of the cilium.
