Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP2 Controls Spindle Formation via HSC70‐Mediated Stabilization of CLTC During Oocyte meiosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that has different regulation and mechanisms with mitosis in numerous aspects. Particularly, meiosis I is unique and occurs only in germ cells to separate homologous chromosomes. Thus, determining how this unusual chromosome segregation behavior is established is central to understanding germ cell ...

Age-associated aberrations of the cumulus-oocyte interaction and in the zona pellucida structure reduce fertility in female mice

open access: yesCommunications Biology
, One of the major age-related declines in female reproductive function is the reduced quantity and quality of oocytes. Here we demonstrate that structural changes in the zona pellucida (ZP) were associated with decreased fertilization rates from 34- to ...

Auditory Hair Cell Mechanotransduction Channels Dynamically Shape the Mechanical Properties of Their Membrane Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work shows, for the first time, that the stereocilia membrane in cochlear hair cells is dynamically regulated by the mechanotransduction channel to impact the membrane mechanical properties. This work provides direct evidence that the opening and closing associated with the MET channel is regulating the membrane viscosity suggesting that the MET ...

Single-cell Motility Analysis of Tethered Human Spermatozoa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Vigorous sperm flagellar motility is essential for fertilization, and so the quantitative measurement of motility is a useful tool to assess the intrinsic fertility potential of sperm cells and explore how various factors can alter sperm's ability to ...
