Long non-coding RNA FPFSC promotes immature porcine Sertoli cell growth through modulating the miR-326/EHMT2 axis

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Sertoli cells are indispensable for guaranteeing normal spermatogenesis and male fertility. Although a huge number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are identified from developing porcine testicular tissues and have been predicted with crucial regulatory

Testicular Biopsies in Adolescent and Adult Andrological Patients: The EAA Clinical Guidelines

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Histological evaluation of testicular tissue is central to the assessment of infertile men, particularly those at an increased risk of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). Traditionally, testicular biopsies have been used primarily for diagnostic purposes, such as the detection of germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS). With advances in

Adenosine—A Regulator of Human Testicular Peritubular Cells

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extracellular purines, in particular ATP and adenosine, are regulators of physiological and pathophysiological processes throughout the human body. Roles in the human testis are emerging and include actions on peritubular cells, which form the wall of seminiferous tubules.

Diabetes‐Induced Testicular Injury: Potential Protective Roles of Curcumin, Garcinia kola, and Momordica charantia in Rats

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces multifaceted cellular and structural alterations in the male reproductive system, thereby predisposing to infertility. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the morphological, stereological, biochemical, histopathological, and ultrastructural changes induced by DM in testicular tissue, and to ...

Relative Sertoli-cell FSH hyporesponsiveness as a potential contributor to sperm DNA fragmentation: a hypothesis-driven narrative review and proposal of the FERTILE framework

Frontiers in Urology
BackgroundSperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) is associated with impaired fertility, adverse reproductive outcomes, and an increased risk of miscarriage. Although oxidative stress is considered the predominant contributor to SDF, accumulating evidence suggests

Children Born Using Ejaculated Sperm From Men With Klinefelter Syndrome. Is Sperm Production Associated With Testicular Volume?

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A large number of children have been born using testicular sperm from men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), whereas reports of children conceived using ejaculated sperm are rare. Objective To review all published cases of children conceived using ejaculated sperm from men with KS, assess their health and karyotype, and evaluate ...

Spatiotemporal Expression of ARRDC5 in Mammalian Spermatogenesis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Spermiogenesis is the final phase of sperm development during which haploid round spermatids transform into specialized spermatozoa and occurs across distinct stages of sperm production in the seminiferous epithelium. Abnormalities in this process lead to malformations and an inability of sperm to fertilize eggs.

Father–Son Comparison of Reproductive Traits

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Little is known about the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors on male reproductive function. Objectives We studied in a cross‐sectional setting, whether testicular function and genital size correlate in father–son pairs.

Pubertal Dynamics of Sertoli and Leydig Cell Dysfunction in Klinefelter Syndrome

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Klinefelter syndrome (KS), defined by a 47, XXY karyotype, is commonly associated with progressive testicular failure. The precise timing of Sertoli and Leydig cell dysfunction during puberty remains unclear. Objective To determine the onset and progression of testicular insufficiency during puberty in KS, and to assess whether ...

Wt1 Is Required for the Regression of Müllerian Ducts in Male Mice by Inducing Wif1 and Osx Expression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Wt1 expressed in the MD mesenchyme promotes MD regression by inducing Wif1 and Osx transcription. In male mice, mesenchyme‐specific inactivation of Wt1 results in MD retention. ABSTRACT In mammals, Müllerian ducts (MDs) are the precursors of the female reproductive tract which regress in males during embryonic development.
