Gender‐affirming hormone therapy: Effect on semen quality and use of fertility preservation

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 322-330, January 2026.
Abstract Fertility preservation (FP) is a fundamental part of gender care. Gender‐affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) involves the use of drugs that could be potential risk factors for fertility. Therefore, FP is recommended before beginning the gender‐affirmation process.

Seminal Extracellular Vesicles LGALS3BP as a Potential Biomarker of Varicocele‐Associated Infertility in TMT‐Based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis

Andrologia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The proteomic analysis of seminal plasma (SP) is a powerful tool for screening and identifying potential novel biomarkers of male infertility. However, the proteomic composition of seminal extracellular (SE) vesicles in varicocele (VC) is still poorly characterized.

P4‐ATPases as Phospholipid Flippases: From Membrane Dynamics to Human Disorders

Medicine Bulletin, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 121-135, December 2025.
ABSTRACT P4‐ATPases (P4 subfamily of P‐type ATPases) flippase complex includes an α‐subunit responsible for catalysis and a supporting β‐subunit, which consumes energy by catalyzing the hydrolysis of ATP, thereby facilitating the translocation of aminophospholipids from the outer to the inner leaflet of cellular membranes to maintain the asymmetric ...
