Lactate inhibits glucose‐induced zigzag motility and enhances linear motility in bull spermatozoa by suppressing glycolysis

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Energy metabolism and substrate balance are critical determinants of sperm motility and fertility. Linear motility is necessary for sperm forward movement, whereas hyperactivated motility is a prerequisite for fertilization. The preference of metabolic pathways depends on substrate availability which controls sperm motility. However,

Effect of Functional Electrical Stimulation Combined With Physical Exercise on Electron Transport Chain Activity in Peripheral Blood Cells of Stroke Patients

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Stroke induces mitochondrial dysfunction and motor disorders. FES combined with physical exercises can help restore mitochondrial function by regulating the formation of reactive oxygen species and, consequently, contributing to functional recovery. ABSTRACT Background Stroke is commonly accompanied by motor disorders secondary to the initial injury ...

What can lithics tell us about hominin technology's ‘primordial soup’? An origin of stone knapping via the emulation of Mother Nature

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)
