Sperm protein 17 is expressed in the sperm fibrous sheath [PDF]
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2009 Sperm protein 17 (Sp17) is a highly conserved mammalian protein characterized in rabbit, mouse, monkey, baboon, macaque, human testis and spermatozoa. mRNA encoding Sp17 has been detected in a range of murine and human somatic tissues. It was also recognized in two myeloma cell lines and in neoplastic cells from patients with multiple myeloma and ...

Sperm Motility Should be Assessed in Fresh Sperm and After a Sperm Washing Procedure [PDF]
Archives of Andrology, 1992 A prospective study was carried out on semen samples from 118 consecutive unselected men attending our infertility clinic to determine whether sperm motility may be affected by seminal plasma. The incidence of asthenozoospermia as defined by fewer than 50% of spermatozoa with forward progressive motility in the untreated semen was 37.4%. This value was

Use of sperm DNA fragmentation testing and testicular sperm for intracytoplasmic sperm injection [PDF]
Translational Andrology and Urology, 2017 Dr. Ahmad, in his well-written commentary (1), shared his viewpoints about the utility of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) testing on each clinical scenario proposed in the practice recommendations by Agarwal et al . (2). He highlighted the pitfalls of relying on quantitative semen parameters in current practice and the need for a more reliable ...

Understanding miR‐200c: an Important Player in Resistance to Cancer Treatment
Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.How can one microRNA alter cancer's response to therapy? miR‐200c plays a central role in therapeutic resistance by modulating epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, apoptosis, cancer stemness features, and drug efflux. This review outlines the context‐dependent functions of miR‐200c in various cancers and highlights its potential as both a biomarker and a

A Bayesian method to estimate the depth and the range of phonating sperm whales using a single hydrophone [PDF]
, 2007 Some bioacousticians have used a single hydrophone to calculate the depth/range of phonating diving animals. The standard one-hydrophone localization method uses multipath transmissions (direct path, sea surface, and seafloor reflections) of the animal ...
