S100A4+ macrophages facilitate zika virus invasion and persistence in the seminiferous tubules via interferon-gamma mediation. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Testicular invasion and persistence are features of Zika virus (ZIKV), but their mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we showed that S100A4+ macrophages, a myeloid macrophage subpopulation with susceptibility to ZIKV infection, facilitated ZIKV invasion ...

Alterations in the ultrasound appearance of seminiferous tubules after gonadotropin treatment in patients with azoospermia because of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism [PDF]
F&S ReportsObjective: To demonstrate the relationship between ultrasound (US) changes in seminiferous tubules during gonadotropin replacement therapy and spermatogenic progression in patients with azoospermia because of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH).

Three‐dimensional reconstruction of testis cords/seminiferous tubules [PDF]
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2021 Background Due to the development of novel equipment for the acquisition of two‐dimensional serial images and software capable of displaying three‐dimensional (3D) images from serial images, the accurate 3D reconstruction of organs and tissues has become

Comprehensive analysis of long non-coding RNA and mRNA expression patterns during seminiferous tubules maturation in Guanzhong dairy goats [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in testicular development and spermatogenesis. The seminiferous tubule, the exclusive site of spermatogenesis, houses all types of male germ cells, regulated by both lncRNAs and mRNAs. However,

The effect of nicotine per inhalation on the diameter and epithelium thickness of the seminiferous tubules of rats [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2020 This study aimed to assess the level of testicular damage by observing the changes in the diameter and epithelium thickness of seminiferous tubules in rats that exposure to nicotine per inhalation.

Three-dimensional morphological analysis of spermatogenesis in aged mouse testes
Scientific Reports, 2021 Spermatogenesis, which is a continuous process from undifferentiated spermatogonia to spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules, declines with age. To investigate changes in spermatogenesis with aging, we reconstructed the seminiferous tubules of 12 mice ...

Does Baclofen induce changes in testicular histology and seminal fluid analysis in rat? [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2021 Baclofen has a central acting effect, so clinicians have been utilized it chiefly for treating the spasticity of spinal origin. Nowadays, off-labeling use of baclofen with high doses is frequently increased.

ATP activation of peritubular cells drives testicular sperm transport
eLife, 2021 Spermatogenesis, the complex process of male germ cell proliferation, differentiation, and maturation, is the basis of male fertility. In the seminiferous tubules of the testes, spermatozoa are constantly generated from spermatogonial stem cells through ...

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Busulfan-Induced Spermatogenesis Disorder in Mice
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 We examined if the distribution of impaired or normal spermatogenesis differs along the length of seminiferous tubules in disorders of spermatogenesis. For this purpose, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of seminiferous tubules was performed in mice ...
