Seminal Plasma Exosomal miRNA Profiling Reveals hsa‐miR‐7‐5p as a Key Regulator of Sperm Motility in Asthenozoospermia

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Asthenozoospermia is a significant contributing factor to male infertility. Accumulating evidence indicates that impaired sperm motility is closely linked to dysregulated microRNA expression during spermatogenesis. Seminal plasma exosomes are enriched with diverse microRNAs, which play pivotal roles in modulating sperm motility, the

Azoospermia: a Genomic Review [PDF]

, 2017
Azoospermia or the absence of sperm in semen is one of the sperm disorders that results in male infertility. There are two types of azoospermia, the first one isazoospermia caused by obstruction of the vas deferens (obstructive azoospermia) and the ...

Search and identification of spermatozoa and spermatids in the ejaculate of non-obstructive azoospermic patients [PDF]

, 2005
OBJECTIVE: To search and to identify spermatozoa and spermatids, present in the ejaculate of non-obstructive azoospermic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 27 patients, aged between 18 and 48 years, with initial diagnosis compatible with non-obstructive ...

Semen Cryopreservation in Testicular Cancer: Before or After Orchidectomy?

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fertility preservation in patients with testicular cancer remains a clinical priority, yet the optimal timing for sperm cryopreservation—before or after orchidectomy—remains a matter of debate. Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the optimal timing for semen cryopreservation and the best‐quality sample for ART.

Peroxiredoxin 4 Involved in Spermatogenesis by Affecting Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The main functions of testes are sperm production and androgen secretion in testicular befitting microenvironment. Excessive level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) from metabolism and cellular events can lead to oxidative stress (OS) and ferroptosis, which injure the functions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of ...

TEX11 is mutated in infertile men with azoospermia and regulates genome-wide recombination rates in mouse [PDF]

, 2015
Genome‐wide recombination is essential for genome stability, evolution, and speciation. Mouse Tex11, an X‐linked meiosis‐specific gene, promotes meiotic recombination and chromosomal synapsis.

Chromodomain Helicase DNA–Binding Proteins and Spermatogenesis: Current Advances

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Male infertility is a prevalent clinical condition, with approximately one‐third of cases classified as idiopathic, frequently stemming from impaired spermatogenesis because of dysregulated gene expression. Chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding (CHD) proteins are central chromatin remodelers that orchestrate this epigenetic regulation ...

[Iatrogenic obstructive azoospermia].

Archivio italiano di urologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale [di] Societa italiana di ecografia urologica e nefrologica, 1997
Obstructive azoospermia is a common cause of sterility in men. In the past infection played an important role in the aetiology of obstructive azoospermia. Recently, however, the aetiology of obstructive azoospermia appears to be changing. So iatrogenic obstructive azoospermia has reached an important role in the field of obstructive azoospermia.

Severe male infertility after failed ICSI treatment-a phenomenological study of men's experiences [PDF]

, 2011
Background Male-factor infertility underlies approximately 30% of infertility in couples seeking treatment; of which 10% is due to azoospermia. The development of assisted reproductive technology (ART), enabling the use of epididymal or testicular sperm ...

SOX30 Governs Synaptonemal Complex Assembly and Homologous Recombination in Male Meiosis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The transcription factor SOX30 directly binds promoter regions of SYCE1 and SYCE2 to mediate their transcriptional activation, thereby enabling proper assembly of central elements within the synaptonemal complex. Structural destabilisation of the synaptonemal complex in Sox30 KK spermatocytes triggers synaptic discontinuity, impairs homologous ...
