1L maintains the integrity of the sperm head‐tail junction
, 2018 Spermatogenesis is a tightly regulated process involving germ cell-specific and germ cell-predominant genes. Here we investigate a novel germ cell-specific gene, Spatc1l (spermatogenesis and centriole associated 1 like).

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

A Two-State Random Walk Model of Sperm Search on Confined Domains
EntropyMammalian fertilization depends on sperm successfully navigating a spatially and chemically complex microenvironment in the female reproductive tract. This process is often conceptualized as a competitive race, but is better understood as a collective ...

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Viscosity of concentrated mRNA solutions: Implications for downstream processing
Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.Abstract Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics can be used to protect against infectious disease and for the treatment of cancers and genetic disorders. In order to obtain the desired therapeutic dosage, it is necessary to concentrate the mRNA to levels where the viscosity of the mRNA solutions can become significant.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...
