Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background More than 1000 genes have been identified as predominantly expressed in the human testis. Advances in gene editing technologies have enabled the rapid and efficient generation of genetically engineered mice. This approach facilitates the screening of genes essential for spermatogenesis by analyzing knockout mouse models.

Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice
Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.

The Embryonic Development of the Cotylean Polyclad Phrikoceros jannetae
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polyclads exhibit distinct developmental modes ranging from direct to indirect development, with several transitional stages also recognised. The existence of an indirect developmental mode in polyclads with a planktonic life history stage in the form of a free‐swimming larva is unique among all free‐living flatworms and makes polyclads a ...

A century of theories of balancing selection
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short.

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Maternal TCF12 ensures the competence of fertilisation by controlling the expression of Astl and the proper location of cortical granules. Furthermore, maternal TCF12 maintains the phosphatase activity of PP2A by regulating the expression of Arpp19. Oocyte‐specific deletion of Tcf12 leads to fertilisation defects as well as ZGA failure at the 2‐cell ...

Analysis of Human Uniparental Embryonic Stem Cells Reveals New Putative Imprinted Loci
Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.To identify novel imprinted genes, parthenogenetic, androgenetic and biparental human embryonic stem cells and their differentiated neural progenitors were analysed by methylome and transcriptome profiling. This approach uncovered 12 putative novel imprinted genes, including a clustered region on chromosome 19, expanding the current catalogue of ...

Phosphatase PPP1CC Regulates the First Lineage Segregation by GAS5 in Mouse Preimplantation Embryos
Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Subcortical GAS5 directs PPP1CC phosphatase spatiotemporal positioning during mouse morula‐blastocyst transition, controlling YAP dephosphorylation to drive first embryonic lineage specification. ABSTRACT The transcriptional effector of the Hippo signalling pathway, YAP, regulates the first lineage specification in mouse preimplantation embryos ...
