A guide to sperm DNA fragmentation testing [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Andrology and Urology, 2017
A conundrum exists in the field of male infertility as in many other areas of medical study. It is described by the adage that advises one to not order a test or exam if you don’t know what to do with the results. The urologists’ conundrum is: how to use the information we have learned about abnormalities in sperm chromatin, specifically DNA ...

Ursolic Acid Alleviates Orchitis via Modulating Ferroptosis in Peritubular Myoid Cells of Testis

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Ursolic acid modulates key ferroptosis‐related pathways in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis in forest musk deer. ABSTRACT Chronic stress adversely affects reproductive health, increasing susceptibility to pathologies such as orchitis. Additionally, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is essential for preserving the function of the testicles ...

Identification of Fis1 Interactors in Toxoplasma gondii Reveals a Novel Protein Required for Peripheral Distribution of the Mitochondrion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Toxoplasma gondii’s single mitochondrion is very dynamic and undergoes morphological changes throughout the parasite’s life cycle. During parasite division, the mitochondrion elongates, enters the daughter cells just prior to cytokinesis, and undergoes ...
