Eukaryotic fertilization and gamete fusion at a glance.

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2022
In sexually reproducing organisms, the genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next via the merger of male and female gametes. Gamete fusion is a two-step process involving membrane recognition and apposition through ligand-receptor

Discovery of archaeal fusexins homologous to eukaryotic HAP2/GCS1 gamete fusion proteins

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Sexual reproduction consists of genome reduction by meiosis and subsequent gamete fusion. The presence of genes homologous to eukaryotic meiotic genes in archaea and bacteria suggests that DNA repair mechanisms evolved towards meiotic recombination ...

Plasmodium falciparum Development from Gametocyte to Oocyst: Insight from Functional Studies

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Malaria elimination may never succeed without the implementation of transmission-blocking strategies. The transmission of Plasmodium spp. parasites from the human host to the mosquito vector depends on circulating gametocytes in the peripheral blood of ...

Effect of lipotoxicity on mitochondrial function and epigenetic programming during bovine in vitro embryo production

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Maternal metabolic disorders may cause lipotoxic effects on the developing oocyte. Understanding the timing at which this might disrupt embryo epigenetic programming and how this is linked with mitochondrial dysfunction is crucial for improving assisted ...

Study of the children’s descent caused by mitochondrial transfer method [PDF]

open access: yesمطالعات فقه و حقوق اسلامی, 2021
One of the human achievements in the treatment mitochondria is mitochondrial transmission. The disease is caused by a defect in the mother's gamete, for this reason, doctors try to put the mother gamete nucleus in the gamete without the donor female ...

The Sperm Protein Spaca6 is Essential for Fertilization in Zebrafish

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Fertilization is a key process in all sexually reproducing species, yet the molecular mechanisms that underlie this event remain unclear. To date, only a few proteins have been shown to be essential for sperm-egg binding and fusion in mice, and only some

The Legacy of Parker, Baker and Smith 1972: Gamete Competition, the Evolution of Anisogamy, and Model Robustness

open access: yesCells, 2021
The evolution of anisogamy or gamete size dimorphism is a fundamental transition in evolutionary history, and it is the origin of the female and male sexes.
