A Putative Plasmodium RNA-Binding Protein Plays a Critical Role in Female Gamete Fertility and Parasite Transmission to the Mosquito Vector

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Plasmodium falciparum sexual stage gametocytes are critical for parasite transmission from the human host to the mosquito vector. Mature gametocytes generate fertile male (micro-) or female (macro-) gametes upon activation inside the mosquito midgut ...

Adapt or Die: Targeting Unique Transmission-Stage Biology for Malaria Elimination

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Plasmodium parasites have a complex life cycle that includes development in the human host as well as the Anopheles vector. Successful transmission of the parasite between its host and vector therefore requires the parasite to balance its investments in ...

Metabolic and antioxidant status during transition is associated with changes in the granulosa cell transcriptome in the preovulatory follicle in high-producing dairy cows at the time of breeding

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022
: In this study, we hypothesized that early postpartum (pp) metabolic and oxidative stress conditions in dairy cows (particularly those with severe negative energy balance, NEB) are associated with long-term changes in granulosa cell (GC) functions in ...

Gamete binning: chromosome-level and haplotype-resolved genome assembly enabled by high-throughput single-cell sequencing of gamete genomes

Genome Biology, 2020
Generating chromosome-level, haplotype-resolved assemblies of heterozygous genomes remains challenging. To address this, we developed gamete binning, a method based on single-cell sequencing of haploid gametes enabling separation of the whole-genome ...

Correction to: Expression of factors involved in apoptosis and cell survival is correlated with enzymes synthesizing lysophosphatidic acid and its receptors in granulosa cells originating from different types of bovine ovarian follicles

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2017
Correction After publication of the original article [1] it was noted that the caption of Table two was incorrect. This caption should read “Distribution of ovarian follicles depending on the type (healthy, transitional, and atretic) Small superscript ...

Models of fertilization kinetics [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
Fertilization functions describe how the number of realized fertilizations depends on gamete numbers or density. They provide insight into the fertilization process, and are important components in models on the evolution of reproductive and sex-specific

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) production possibility and its receptors expression in the early- and late-cleaved preimplantation bovine embryos

BMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is an important component for the physiology of female reproductive processes. In the literature, the data pertaining to the synthesis and action of PGF2α in early embryonic bovine development are limited.

Sexual selection after gamete release in broadcast spawning invertebrates

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2020
Broadcast spawning invertebrates offer highly tractable models for evaluating sperm competition, gamete-level mate choice and sexual conflict. By displaying the ancestral mating strategy of external fertilization, where sexual selection is constrained to

Expression of factors involved in apoptosis and cell survival is correlated with enzymes synthesizing lysophosphatidic acid and its receptors in granulosa cells originating from different types of bovine ovarian follicles

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2017
Background Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) regulates reproductive processes in the cow. Ovarian granulosa cells play a pivotal role in follicle growth and development.

New insights into posttranslational modifications of proteins during bull sperm capacitation

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2023
Background Due to the unique nature of spermatozoa, which are transcriptionally and translationally silent, the regulation of capacitation is based on the formation of posttranslational modifications of proteins (PTMs).
