Age-associated changes in cumulus cells and follicular fluid: the local oocyte microenvironment as a determinant of gamete quality

open access: yesBiology of Reproduction, 2022
The ovary is the first organ to age in humans with functional decline evident already in women in their early 30s. Reproductive aging is characterized by a decrease in oocyte quantity and quality, which is associated with an increase in infertility ...

Species-specific gamete recognition initiates fusion-driving trimer formation by conserved fusogen HAP2

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Recognition and fusion between gametes during fertilization is an ancient process. Protein HAP2, recognized as the primordial eukaryotic gamete fusogen, is a structural homolog of viral class II fusion proteins. The mechanisms that regulate HAP2 function,

An MFS-Domain Protein Pb115 Plays a Critical Role in Gamete Fertilization of the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium berghei

open access: goldFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Sexual reproduction is an essential process in the Plasmodium life cycle and a vulnerable step for blocking transmission from the human host to mosquitoes.

Melatonin Scavenger Properties against Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress: Impact on Gamete Handling and In Vitro Embryo Production in Humans and Other Mammals

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017
Oxidative and nitrosative stress are common problems when handling gametes in vitro. In vitro development in mammalian embryos is highly affected by culture conditions, especially by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS ...

Gamete Nuclear Migration in Animals and Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The migration of male and female gamete nuclei to each other in the fertilized egg is a prerequisite for the blending of genetic materials and the initiation of the next generation.

Low sperm to egg ratio required for successful in vitro fertilization in a pair-spawning teleost, Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2021
Cultured Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) breeders fail to spawn fertilized eggs. The implantation of large-scale in vitro fertilization protocols, to solve this problem, has been frustrated by low production of poor quality sperm.

Evolutionarily conserved sperm factors, DCST1 and DCST2, are required for gamete fusion

open access: yeseLife, 2021
To trigger gamete fusion, spermatozoa need to activate the molecular machinery in which sperm IZUMO1 and oocyte JUNO (IZUMO1R) interaction plays a critical role in mammals.

Oxidative Stress Is Associated with Telomere Interaction Impairment and Chromatin Condensation Defects in Spermatozoa of Infertile Males

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2021
Telomere length can be influenced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by lifestyle factors or environmental exposure. We sought to determine whether oxidative stress has an impact on sperm nuclear alterations, especially on chromatin organization ...
