GSK3α‐mediated regulation of the RNA demethylase fat mass and obesity‐associated protein (FTO) during murine spermatogenesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
FTO regulates mRNA stability and translational efficiency through its m6A‐demethylation activity. GSK3 functions as an upstream regulator of FTO, leading to its inhibition via phosphorylation. In male germ cells, FTO activity is kept in check by GSK3α.

Systematic mRNA interactome analysis reconceptualizes translational quiescence in bovine sperm

Communications Biology
Ejaculated mammalian sperm must undergo a series of biochemical changes called capacitation to gain fertilizing competence. Mounting evidence on protein synthesis during capacitation contradicts the widely accepted dogma of translational quiescence in ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

The Therapeutic Effects of Crocus sativus L. and Its Constituents on the Improving Treatment of Azoospermia: A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Azoospermia, defined as the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, is a major cause of male infertility and is classified into obstructive and non‐obstructive forms. While obstructive azoospermia is primarily mechanical in origin, non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is characterized by impaired spermatogenesis and is ...

Bioprospecting snakehead fish protein concentrate (SFC) as a non non-serumserum-based albumin source for promoting capacitation in bovine sperm

Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture
Capacitation is a prerequisite for successful fertilization with albumin as an inevitable component among the oviductal fluid's constituents. Under in vitroenvironments, albumin's function is replaced by serum-based products, which carry the issue of ...

Dose‐Dependent Effects of Clinoptilolite Supplementation on Sperm Quality and Oxidative Stress During Canine Semen Cryopreservation

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Clinoptilolite supplementation in canine semen extenders showed dose‐dependent effects during cryopreservation, with 2% yielding optimal post‐thaw sperm quality. Higher concentrations impaired sperm parameters, likely due to oxidative imbalance, highlighting the importance of precise dosing to enhance cryosurvival.

Testicular SIRT1 Loss Reveals an Aging‐Like Proteomic Landscape and Precipitates Reproductive Deterioration

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1579-1589, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Advanced paternal age is associated with reduced male fertility and testicular dysfunction. Among the molecular regulators involved in aging, SIRT1, a NAD+‐dependent deacetylase, plays a pivotal role in maintaining oxidative balance and cellular homeostasis.

Testis‐Enriched F‐Box Protein FBXO39 Is Important for Spermiogenesis and Male Fertility in Mice

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1636-1646, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The SCF (Skp–Cullin–F‐box) complex is a major class of E3 ubiquitin ligases. F‐box proteins constitute the SCF complex and play a critical role in recognizing substrates for ubiquitination. In mice, several F‐box proteins, including FBXO36 and FBXO39, are predominantly expressed in testes.

Improvement of Mouse Spermatozoa Freezing at −80°C With Ascorbic Acid 2‐Glucoside at Thawing Phase

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1647-1655, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm cryopreservation is the most common method to maintain a great number of mutant mouse lines. However, the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2) for freezing presents considerable problems in terms of cost, safety, and accessibility. For this reason, the storage of semen samples at ‐80° in ultra‐freezers has been increasingly used in ...
