The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...

Microrheology of the cumulus-oocyte matrix using optical tweezers

JPhys Photonics
Optical tweezers have emerged as a powerful, versatile approach for a range of studies in cellular and molecular biology. A particular highlight has been its use for microrheology measurements in miniscule sample volumes.

Biotechnological bases of the development of cloned pig embryos

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019
The term ‘clone’ in animal biotechnology refers to an organism derived from non-sexual reproduction, which is both a direct offspring and a genetic copy of the parent organism.

Hyperactivation and Tyrosine Phosphorylation of Cryopreserved Stallion Spermatozoa in Relation to Conventional In Vitro Fertilization Blastocyst Production

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Challenges in establishing clinical conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) in horses include variation in sperm and oocyte quality, which can be affected by mare age. Extended preincubation of stallion spermatozoa has resulted in successful IVF.

Short communication. In vitro embryo production can be modified by the previous ovarian response to a superovulatory treatment in sheep

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2013
Thirty-two ewes were used to study how the ovarian response to a superovulatory treatment determines quality of oocytes recovered from ovaries after embryo collection, and their developmental capacity after in vitro maturation (IVM) and fertilization ...

Improving ARTs: Microfluidics as a Tool for Sperm Selection

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sperm selection is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART), as sperm quality directly influences embryo quality. In vivo, the female reproductive tract imposes several physical and physiological barriers that favors only the most optimal spermatozoa reaching the fertilization site.

ZAN, IZUMO1, and TMEM95 Protein Domains Identify the Physiological Status of the Sperm

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Infertility is a growing concern, which has led to an increase in the use of assisted reproductive techniques, involving in vitro sperm capacitation. Nonetheless, the optimal capacitation time remains a matter of debate, and it is unknown whether it has an impact on the localization of key membrane proteins.

Male Mice Heterozygous for Protamine 1 and Protamine 2 Are Infertile, Displaying Sperm Damage and Retention of Protamine 2 Precursors, Transition Proteins, and Histones

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background During spermiogenesis, protamines (PRMs) replace histones to hypercondense and protect sperm DNA. Rodents and primates express two PRMs (PRM1 and PRM2). Alterations of species‐specific PRM ratios are associated with sub‐ or infertility in mice and humans.

Neuronal and ion channel mechanisms of noxious heat sensing in mammals: A puzzle of sensory physiology and pharmacology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.

Ploidy‐Dependent Response to Anticancer Drugs of Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Using isogenic hESCs, differing only in their ploidy level, we show the effect of ploidy on the resistance to anticancer drugs. We demonstrate that polyploidy, by itself, confers sensitivity to chemotherapies, leading to higher apoptosis and delayed proliferation, while the loss of p53 reverses the phenotype, demonstrating higher resistance.
