Sexual selection in a transparent worm : insights from fluorescent sperm [PDF]
Sexual selection is a potent source of selection underlying the evolution of sexual dimorphism, reproductive strategies and mating systems. Although sexual selection was initially thought to occur exclusively at the pre-copulatory stage (e.g., contests ...

Condensates at synapses organize synaptic vesicles (SVs) and are crucial for efficient neurotransmitter release, yet how RNA contributes to this mesoscale architecture remains poorly understood. Here we uncover that RNA modulates synapsin–driven condensates.

Effect of royal jelly on sexual efficiency in adult male rats [PDF]
The study was designed to investigate the efficacy of treating the adult male rats with royal jelly (1g/kg B. Wt. orally) for one month with or without hydrogen peroxide (0.5%) in drinking water on sexual efficiency, glutathione and malondialdehyde ...

BOULE is Essential for the Dynamic Disassembly of Heat Shock Granules in Male Germ Cells
BOULE orchestrates stress granule disassembly in germ cells via a two‐pronged mechanism: it promotes G3BP1 ubiquitination by upregulating TRIM27, generating a signal for VCP/FAF2 recruitment, and it maintains G3BP1 and FAF2 protein levels. BOULE deficiency disrupts disassembly complex formation, leading to impaired heat shock granule clearance ...

Micro/Nanoscale Acoustic Manipulation: From Particle Control to Autonomous Microswimmers
This conceptual framework illustrates acoustic technology as a multifunctional platform enabling passive particle manipulation across scales and autonomous propulsion of microswimmers. ABSTRACT Acoustic manipulation and propulsion technologies have emerged as powerful platforms for micro/nanoscale control, enabled by their non‐contact operation, label ...

The effects of cinnamon consumption on sperm count, concentration, morphology, and motility: A systematic review [PDF]
Introduction: Some of the causes of male infertility are sperm disorders including changes in sperm concentration, viability, motility, and morphology. Historically, traditional remedies like cinnamon bark have been utilized for treating fertility issues.

Phase separation of SF3B1 acts as a key regulatory mechanism for dynamic alternative splicing throughout early mouse embryogenesis. Its absence triggers extensive splicing errors, which induce persistent DNA damage, defective cell cycle progression, and failed cell lineage commitment, and ultimately hinder the normal growth and development of ...

Sperm Competition and the Function of Masturbation in Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata) [PDF]
Male masturbation or sexual-auto stimulation is well documented in humans. This study dealt with the occurrence of masturbation in non-human primates in general, and in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) in particular, from the perspective of ...
