Male scorpionflies assess the amount of rival sperm transferred by females' previous mates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Engqvist L. Male scorpionflies assess the amount of rival sperm transferred by females' previous mates. Evolution. 2007;61(6):1489-1494.Theory predicts that when sperm compete numerically, selection will favor males who vary the number of sperm they ...

Pyrazole‐Derived Antibacterial Compounds Effectively Treat Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections by Inhibiting Aspartate Transcarbamoylase

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

IGF2 and IGF1R mRNAs Are Detectable in Human Spermatozoa

open access: yesThe World Journal of Men's Health, 2020
Purpose: Oligozoospermia is highly prevalent worldwide. Studies have reported a lower methylation rate in the H19 differentially methylated region at the sperm level in oligozoospermic patients than in controls.

Sperm competition and sperm length in shorebirds [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We investigated how sperm morphology varies across 16 species of shorebirds in the Scolopacidae, Charadriidae, and Jacanidae. Sperm were significantly longer in nonmonogamous than in socially monogamous species.

SDF‐1 Attenuates Oocyte Quality Decline During Reproductive Aging Through Autophagy‐Enhanced Stress Granule Scavenging

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SDF‐1 levels decline significantly with maternal aging. Exogenous supplementation restores meiotic spindle morphology, chromosomal alignment, and mitochondrial function while reducing oxidative stress in aged oocytes. Mechanistically, SDF‐1 enhances autophagic activity to clear accumulated stress granules, thereby rescuing fertilization competence and ...

SPERMATOGENESIS INDICES IN INBRED STRAINS DD/HE AND BALB/CLAC AND THEIR F1 RECIPROCAL CROSSES

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2014
We have shown that among 13 inbred mice strains males the DD/He strain has the lowest proportion of mobile sperm and moderate sperm count and proportion of abnormal sperm heads.

Functional Sex Reversal in Adult Gonochoristic Teleosts is Mediated by Ovarian Germline Stem Cell Plasticity and Somatic Cell Transdifferentiation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Oocytes play crucial roles in maintaining ovarian fate in adult gonochoristic fish. Targeted oocyte ablation with aromatase inhibition triggers the activation of surviving germline stem cells and the transdifferentiation of somatic cells from granoulosa/theca to Sertoli/Leydig lineages, inducing a complete and functional female‐to‐male sex reversal ...
