The absence of both RIBC1 and RIBC2 induces decreased sperm motility and litter size in male mice
Abstract Background RIBC1 (RIB43A domain with coiled‐coils 1) and RIBC2 (RIB43A domain with coiled‐coils 2) are homolog proteins of RIB43a which is localized to microtubules in the cilia and flagella of unicellular organisms. Cryo‐electron microscopy and artificial intelligence studies showed that RIBC1 and RIBC2 are microtubule inner proteins (MIPs ...

Abstract Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are amongst the most common malignancies in young men, and their incidence is increasing worldwide. Tissue heterogeneity hampers efforts to understand how TGCT precursors (termed germ cell neoplasia in situ; GCNIS) emerge and progress, restricting elucidation of new strategies for diagnosis and ...

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,

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 ...
