Testis‐Enriched F‐Box Protein FBXO39 Is Important for Spermiogenesis and Male Fertility in Mice
ABSTRACT Background The SCF (Skp–Cullin–F‐box) complex is a major class of E3 ubiquitin ligases. F‐box proteins constitute the SCF complex and play a critical role in recognizing substrates for ubiquitination. In mice, several F‐box proteins, including FBXO36 and FBXO39, are predominantly expressed in testes.

ABSTRACT Background Retinoic acid plays a critical role in spermatogenesis during both spermatogonial differentiation and spermiation. Mice lacking enzymes that synthesize retinoic acid, Aldh1a1/1a2, in the testes are infertile. WIN 18,446 reversibly inhibits spermatogenesis by inhibiting ALDH1A1/1A2 and is a promising approach to male contraception ...

Improvement of Mouse Spermatozoa Freezing at −80°C With Ascorbic Acid 2‐Glucoside at Thawing Phase
ABSTRACT Background Sperm cryopreservation is the most common method to maintain a great number of mutant mouse lines. However, the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2) for freezing presents considerable problems in terms of cost, safety, and accessibility. For this reason, the storage of semen samples at ‐80° in ultra‐freezers has been increasingly used in ...

ABSTRACT Background Sperm acquire fertility ability during epididymal maturation mainly in the epididymal caput and corpus, and once matured, are stored in the epididymal cauda. During storage, interactions with cauda epididymosomes (epEVs) may influence sperm fertility potential; however, the role of such interactions on sperm fertility remains ...

ABSTRACT Background Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most severe form of male infertility, with genetic factors contributing to approximately 30% of cases. However, only a small fraction of all NOA cases can be explained by the current genetic findings.

Can Hormonal Therapy Improve the Outcomes of mTESE in Patients With Non‐Obstructive Azoospermia?
ABSTRACT Background Non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) represents the most severe form of male infertility. Hypogonadism is common in NOA patients, and normal testosterone (T) levels are considered essential for spermatogenesis. Fertility‐preserving hormonal therapy (FpHT) has been proposed to optimize hormonal milieu and improve sperm retrieval rates ...

Acute hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis suppression is common in anti‐NMDAR encephalitis, yet ovarian function and fertility recover favorably even in teratoma‐associated cases, supporting reassuring long‐term reproductive prognoses. Abstract Introduction Anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (anti‐NMDAR) encephalitis predominantly affects women of ...

Fish Sperm Subpopulations Detection, Separation, and Application: Current State and Trends
Modern advances in sperm biology highlight the necessity of recognising intra‐ejaculate heterogeneity as a central concept for advancing both the fundamental understanding of fertilisation processes and the development of artificial reproduction techniques in fishes. ABSTRACT Sperm subpopulations represent a fundamental manifestation of intra‐ejaculate

Lactational lactoferrin deficiency exerts lasting effects on epididymal adipose tissue development from lactation into adulthood: it impairs adipocyte hyperplasia and induces pathological hypertrophy, resulting in lower body weight yet exacerbated metabolic dysfunction under a high‐fat diet in adulthood.
