Amphibious Movement of Microrobots Inspired by Water Spiders

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the water strider, a novel microrobot is designed to maintain amphibious mobility in complex environments. It retains the ability to traverse the air‐liquid interface and perform directional movement within sophisticated, multifaceted environments, including complex gastric wall structures, with precise controllability.

Another look at human sperm morphology [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 2015
Can a standardized assessment of abnormal human sperm morphology provide additional useful information by identifying men with more severe disturbances in different types of abnormalities?Definition-based categorization of sperm head, midpiece and tail defects has shown how differently these abnormalities are distributed in fertile men and other groups

Non-random chromosome positioning in mammalian sperm nuclei, with migration of the sex chromosomes during late spermatogenesis. [PDF]

, 2005
Chromosomes are highly organized and compartmentalized in cell nuclei. The analysis of their position is a powerful way to monitor genome organization in different cell types and states.

Phase Separation of SF3B1 Serves as a Critical Post‐Transcriptional Regulator During Early Mouse Embryogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Ciliary Membrane Lipid Homeostasis in Health and Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically delineates the distinct lipid landscapes of ciliary membranes, including the spatial organization of phosphoinositides, cholesterol, and sphingolipids. It elucidates how these lipids orchestrate ciliogenesis, signal transduction, and membrane dynamics in cilia beating, and highlights how their dysregulation drives ...

DUET‐seq: An Open‐Source Droplet Platform for High‐Fidelity Joint Chromatin and Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Temporal Regulatory Decoupling in Single Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DUET‐seq is an open‐source droplet platform that jointly profiles chromatin accessibility and gene expression from the same nucleus. Dissolvable dual‐linker hydrogel beads and a one‐step intra‐droplet RT‐PCR co‐index both modalities in under 12 h at roughly $0.04 per cell.

WFS1 Deficiency Impairs PIAS4‐Associated SUMOylation and Increases Ubiquitin‐Mediated Spermatogenesis‐Related Protein Degradation Leading to Testicular Male Infertility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The findings establish a critical role for WFS1 in human male fertility. Mechanistically, WFS1 interacts with PIAS4 to promote the SUMOylation of key spermatogenesis‐associated proteins, which in turn competitively inhibits their K48‐linked ubiquitin‐mediated degradation during spermatogenesis.

One‐Step Induction of Oogonia‐Like and Pro‐Spermatogonia‐Like Cells From Porcine Pluripotent Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study established a one‐step method inducing pro‐spermatogonia‐like (activating SOX17) and oogonia‐like (activating SOX17/TFAP2C) cells from porcine pgEpiSCs with a NANOS3‐tdTomato reporter. EGF activates the core PGC program and supports survival; BMP4 further induces NANOS3 and DDX4 expression; IWR1 enhances PGCLC efficiency by suppressing ...
