Abstract Background Poor semen quality is a well‐known feature in patients with testicular germ cell tumours (GCTs) at the time of diagnosis but the underlying biological reasons are incompletely understood. Objectives This study aimed to identify GCT‐specific clinical factors that are involved with poor semen quality in GCT patients.

Abstract Background Cryopreservation causes sperm injury and the success of surgical sperm retrieval (SSR) for azoospermic men is just over half depending on the cause of azoospermia. The role of autologous platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) in male factor infertility (MFI) is unclear. Objective To conduct a systematic review of the role of PRP in MFI focusing

Are physiological oscillations physiological?
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

Abstract Background Myocyte enhancer factor 2 transcription factors regulate essential transcriptional programs in various cell types. The activity of myocyte enhancer factor 2 factors is modulated through interactions with cofactors, chromatin remodelers, and other regulatory proteins, which are dependent on cell context and physiological state.

Season of birth and variations in male reproductive health: A population‐based cohort study
Abstract Background Season of birth has been associated with various later reproductive health outcomes in women, but little is known on the potential associations in men. Objectives To investigate the association between season of birth and semen characteristics, testes volume and reproductive hormone levels in young men.

Pharmacogenetics of follicle‐stimulating hormone action in the male
Abstract Male factor infertility (MFI) is involved in half of the cases of couple infertility. The follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) therapy is considered efficient to improve semen parameters and pregnancy rate in patients with idiopathic MFI, following the lesson learned from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Vitamin D levels and biomarkers of male fecundity: A study from the Danish National Birth Cohort
Abstract Background Vitamin D is metabolised throughout the male reproductive system, suggesting a direct regulatory role of vitamin D in male reproduction. Objectives To investigate the association between plasma vitamin D levels at sperm ejaculation and during spermatogenesis and biomarkers of male fecundity in young men.
