TRiC Is a Structural Component of Mammalian Sperm Axonemes
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The TRiC chaperonin is responsible for folding ~5%–10% of the proteome in eukaryotic cells. Our recent cryo‐electron microscopy studies of axonemes from diverse mammalian cell types led to the surprising discovery that a fully assembled TRiC chaperonin is a structural component of mammalian sperm flagella, where it is tethered to the radial ...

International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine, 2018 Background: Sperm morphology has been strongly linked to fertilization. This makes it an important component in semen analysis. They are usually assessed by world health organization (WHO) standard or Kruger strict criteria in in-vitro fertilization (IVF)

Influence of Long-term Ingestion of Garcinia Kola Seed Diet on Sperm Count, Sperm Motility, and Fertility in the Wistar Rat [PDF]
, 2013 The influence of long-term ingestion of Garcinia kola seed on the sperm count, sperm motility, and fertility was investigated in the rat. Twenty adult Wistar rats initially weighing between 150 and 160 g were randomly divided into 2 groups (A and B) of ...

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cells have an intrinsic ability to rapidly respond to environmental change to regulate cell cycle progression and membrane organisation, thereby affecting cell growth and division. The actin cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic complex of proteins that can rapidly reorganise to change the growth pattern of a cell.

The NLS3 Motif in TPX2 Regulates Spindle Architecture in Xenopus Egg Extracts
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A bipolar spindle composed of microtubules and many associated proteins functions to segregate chromosomes during cell division in all eukaryotes, yet both spindle size and architecture vary dramatically across different species and cell types.

Strictures of the female reproductive tract impose fierce competition to select for highly motile sperm [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Investigating sperm locomotion in the presence of an external fluid flow and geometries simulating the female reproductive tract can lead to a better understanding of sperm motion during the fertilization process. In this study, using a microfluidic device featuring a stricture that simulates the biophysical properties of narrow junctions inside the ...

High-resolution 4D acquisition of freely swimming human sperm cells without staining [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We present a new acquisition method that enables high-resolution, fine-detail full reconstruction of the three-dimensional movement and structure of individual human sperm cells swimming freely. We achieve both retrieval of the three-dimensional refractive-index profile of the sperm head, revealing its fine internal organelles and time-varying ...
