Role of ANO1‐Expressing PDGFRα+ Smooth Muscle Cells in Generating Spontaneous Phasic Contractions of the Rodent Epididymis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Spontaneous phasic contractions (SPCs) in the epididymal duct play an important role in transport and maturation of sperm. In proximal cauda of the rat epididymis, platelet‐derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα)‐positive smooth muscle cells (SMCs) generate ANO1 Ca2+‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs)‐dependent spontaneous ...

Whole-Transcriptome Sequencing and Differential Expression Analysis of the Epididymis in Junggar Bactrian Camels Before and After Sexual Maturity

Biology
The Junggar Bactrian camel, a primitive indigenous breed in China, exhibits low reproductive efficiency under natural grazing conditions. This is partly attributed to the development of the epididymis and the quality of semen, both of which directly ...

A Systematic Review on the Presentation and Management of Segmental Testicular Infarction

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Segmental testicular infarction (STI) is a rare and likely underdiagnosed cause of acute scrotal pain. Its clinical and imaging presentation often mimics testicular torsion or malignancy, frequently leading to unnecessary surgical intervention.

Robot‐Assisted Peritoneal Flap Vaginoplasty Versus Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty for Gender Affirming Surgery

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Direct comparison of robot‐assisted peritoneal flap (PF) to penile inversion (PI) vaginoplasty for gender affirming surgery is absent. Objectives We sought to compare these two techniques to aid patient decision‐making. Materials and Methods A retrospective case–control study of patients who underwent primary PI (N = 40) or PF (N ...

Spatiotemporal Expression of ARRDC5 in Mammalian Spermatogenesis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Spermiogenesis is the final phase of sperm development during which haploid round spermatids transform into specialized spermatozoa and occurs across distinct stages of sperm production in the seminiferous epithelium. Abnormalities in this process lead to malformations and an inability of sperm to fertilize eggs.

Male Mice Heterozygous for Protamine 1 and Protamine 2 Are Infertile, Displaying Sperm Damage and Retention of Protamine 2 Precursors, Transition Proteins, and Histones

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background During spermiogenesis, protamines (PRMs) replace histones to hypercondense and protect sperm DNA. Rodents and primates express two PRMs (PRM1 and PRM2). Alterations of species‐specific PRM ratios are associated with sub‐ or infertility in mice and humans.

Wt1 Is Required for the Regression of Müllerian Ducts in Male Mice by Inducing Wif1 and Osx Expression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Wt1 expressed in the MD mesenchyme promotes MD regression by inducing Wif1 and Osx transcription. In male mice, mesenchyme‐specific inactivation of Wt1 results in MD retention. ABSTRACT In mammals, Müllerian ducts (MDs) are the precursors of the female reproductive tract which regress in males during embryonic development.

Testicular torsion in foals and stallions

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Testicular torsion is a rare condition in horses characterised by a change in the position of the testis due to the testicular mesentery twisting around its own axis; it can occur both when the testis is still in the abdominal cavity and when it has descended into the scrotum.
