Development of an optimal protocol to induce capacitation of boar spermatozoa in vitro
Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2022 In 1951, Colin Russell Austin and Min Chueh Chang identified “capacitation”, a special process involving ejaculated spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cryopreservation induces capacitation-like (cryo-capacitation) changes, similar to natural capacitation, and affects the fertility potential of post-thawed sperm. The molecular mechanism of sperm cryo-capacitation during cryopreservation remains unknown.

Genes, 2021 Sperm chemotaxis, which guide sperm toward oocyte, is tightly associated with sperm capacitation, motility, and fertility. However, the molecular mechanism of sperm chemotaxis is not known.

Involvement of oviduct in sperm capacitation and oocyte development in pigs.
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) Supplement, 2020 An overview is presented on the structure and function of the pig oviduct in relation to sperm capacitation and oocyte development in vivo. In pigs, a functional sperm reservoir is established in the uterotubal junction-isthmus when sperm deposition ...

Adhesion to oviduct glycans regulates porcine sperm Ca2+ influx and viability.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Before fertilization, sperm bind to epithelial cells of the oviduct isthmus to form a reservoir that regulates sperm viability and capacitation. The sperm reservoir maintains optimum fertility in species, like swine, in which semen deposition and ...

Hsp90 modulates human sperm capacitation via the Erk1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2020 Background Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a highly abundant eukaryotic molecular chaperone that plays important roles in client protein maturation, protein folding and degradation, and signal transduction.

Influence of in vitro capacitation time on structural and functional human sperm parameters
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2020 A cascade of dramatic physiological events is linked to the sperm acrosome reaction and binding to the oocyte's zona pellucida during human sperm capacitation.

Cells, 2022 Mammalian sperm differ widely in sperm morphology, and several explanations have been presented to account for this diversity. Less is known about variation in sperm physiology and cellular processes that can give sperm cells an advantage when competing ...

Seminal CD38 Enhances Human Sperm Capacitation through Its Interaction with CD31. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Human sperm have to undergo a maturational process called capacitation in the female reproductive tract. Capacitation confers upon the sperm an ability to gain hypermotility and undergo acrosome reaction.
