Unilateral mastication‐induced memory deficits linked to disrupted hippocampal cholesterol metabolism in rats

VIEW, EarlyView.
Unilateral mastication, a common oral habit, induces cognitive decline in rats by disrupting hippocampal cholesterol metabolism. It triggers astrocyte hyperplasia, enhances cholesterol synthesis, impairs transport/degradation, and reduces 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC), ultimately damaging synaptic function.

An engineered epididymal cell line provides a sustainable source of functional extracellular vesicles for in vitro sperm preservation: A multi‐omics and functional study

VIEW, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the function of epididymal extracellular vesicles (EVs) in overcoming sperm post‐testicular modification deficiencies. Although EVs derived from the epididymis play a crucial role in intercellular communication and molecular exchange, there is limited research addressing how EVs released by in vitro cultured epididymal ...

Efficiency comparison between new single‐needle dialysis and conventional double‐needle dialysis and exploration of the optimal prescription parameters for single‐needle hemodialysis

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 419-427, June 2025.
Abstract Objective To compare the dialysis efficiency parameters between new single‐needle dialysis and conventional double‐needle dialysis and to explore the optimal prescription parameters for single‐needle hemodialysis. Methods This study involved a prospective, cross‐over design. Eight patients were randomly divided into two cohorts, which received

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

The Oxytocin Receptor in Spermatozoa May Originate From Both Spermatogenesis and Epididymal Maturation, and Regulates Capacitation

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The oxytocin receptor (OR) is a G‐protein‐coupled receptor recently identified in human spermatozoa, whose origin and role in sperm physiology remain unknown. Objectives In this study, using the pig as a model, we examine the presence of the OR in ejaculated spermatozoa through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, and investigate ...

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

Andrology, EarlyView.
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
