Sperm competition and sperm midpiece size: no consistent pattern in passerine birds [PDF]
, 2007 Sperm competition is thought to be a major force driving the evolution of sperm shape and function. However, previous studies investigating the relationship between the risk of sperm competition and sperm morphometry revealed inconclusive results and ...

Factors affecting sperm recovery rates and survival after centrifugation of equine semen [PDF]
, 2012 Conventional centrifugation protocols result in important sperm losses during removal of the supernatant. In this study, the effect of centrifugation force (400 or 900 × g), duration (5 or 10 min), and column height (20 or 40 mL; Experiment 1); sperm ...

Distribution of Glycoproteins on Feline Testicular Sperm, Epididymal Sperm and Ejaculated Sperm
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2011 Glycoproteins (GPs) are known to be involved in the phenomenon of sperm maturation and capacitation. In the present study, we investigated the attachment of GPs on sperm cell membrane during the process of feline sperm maturation from testicular sperm to ejaculated sperm by using 8 FITC-labeled lectins.

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2020 Centrioles are eukaryotic subcellular structures that produce and regulate massive cytoskeleton superstructures. They form centrosomes and cilia, regulate new centriole formation, anchor cilia to the cell, and regulate cilia function. These basic centriolar functions are executed in sperm cells during their amplification from spermatogonial stem cells ...

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Protein-carbohydrate interactions during fertilization [PDF]
, 1998 Interaction between gametes during fertilization is at least in part regulated by carbohydrate moieties of the zona pellucida (ZP) and carbohydrate binding proteins of the sperm surface. This review focuses on the protein-carbohydrate interactions during

Human sperm RNA code senses dietary sugar. [PDF]
, 2020 A new study reveals that a high-sugar diet acutely alters human sperm small RNA profiles after 1 week and that these changes are associated with changes in sperm motility.

Karyotypes and idiograms of sperm and pygmy sperm whales [PDF]
Hereditas, 2009 The somatic chromosomes of the sperm whale, Physeter catodon L. and the pygmy sperm whale, Kogia breviceps Blainville, were studied. The chromosome number of both species is 2n=42. The sperm and pygmy sperm whales are the only cetaceans, so far recorded, with a chromosome number deviating from 2n=44.

Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible

Testicular histopathology, semen analysis and FSH, predictive value of sperm retrieval: supportive counseling in case of reoperation after testicular sperm extraction (TESE) [PDF]
, 2018 Background: To provide indicators for the likelihood of sperm retrieval in patients undergoing testicular sperm extraction is a major issue in the management of male infertility by TESE.
