The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research
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 ...

Impact of Sorting and Catch Media on Porcine Sperm Motility, Capacitation, and Viability
ABSTRACT Background Fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) has emerged as a powerful tool for selecting spermatozoa of a desired population of fluorescent biomarkers, offering potential applications in reproductive biology and agriculture. However, concerns remain regarding sorting‐induced physiological alterations that could compromise spermatozoa

Slit2/Robo Signaling Restores Diabetic Erectile Function via Neurovascular Remodeling
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus‐induced erectile dysfunction (DMED) is a common and debilitating vascular‐neurogenic complication of diabetes. The poor responsiveness of DMED patients to phosphodiesterase type‐5 inhibitors underscores the need for therapies capable of restoring both endothelial integrity and cavernous nerve function.

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

The immunological landscape of the area postrema in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders
Aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive neuromyelitis spectrum disorder is characterized by large tissue destructive lesions in medulla, spinal cord, and optic nerves, with only partial recovery from clinical symptoms, and by lesions with very little tissue destruction and mostly complete recovery from clinical symptoms, as seen in the area postrema ...
