Magnetically Actuated Microrobot for Drug Delivery: Current Progress and Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Magnetically actuated microrobots are reshaping targeted drug delivery through wireless propulsion, programmable materials, and localized therapeutic release. This review examines how fabrication, body material selection, structural architecture, loading mechanisms, and imaging‐guided control converge to enable microrobotic therapies while identifying ...

Hydrodynamic propulsion of human sperm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The detailed fluid mechanics of sperm propulsion are fundamental to our understanding of reproduction. In this paper, we aim to model a human sperm swimming in a microscope slide chamber.

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 ...

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.

BOULE is Essential for the Dynamic Disassembly of Heat Shock Granules in Male Germ Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction Results in Nonobstructive Azospermic Disease and Evaluation of the Factors Affecting These Results

open access: yesActa Medica Alanya, 2017
Aim: To investigate the hormonal properties and results of 71 patients, who were diagnosed with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) and performed micro-TESE (microsurgical testicular sperm extraction) at  our clinic, and the relationship of these results ...

Sperm retrieval success and testicular histopathology in idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2020
Prior studies have investigated sperm retrieval rates in men with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) secondary to specific etiologies, yet most cases of NOA are idiopathic.

RSF1‐Dependent PAR Turnover Promotes 53BP1 Liquid Condensate Formation at DNA Damage Sites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
At sites of DNA damage, RSF1 recruits PARG to accelerate PAR turnover, triggering a switch from PAR‐driven condensates to 53BP1 condensates. This condensate transition enables p53‐dependent gene transcription and coordinates the DNA damage response.

Fresh or frozen testicular sperm? Guidance from an etiology-classified retrospective study on ICSI cycles for patients with azoospermia

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology
Using testicular sperm, men with azoospermia can father children. Sperm cryopreservation helps avoid the risk of cycle canceling because of the failure of testicular sperm retrieval.

Analysis of factors affecting repeat microdissection testicular sperm extraction outcomes in infertile men

open access: yesUrology Research and Practice, 2019
Objective: There is no clear consensus on which patients and how many of microscopic testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) procedures will be successful. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the sperm retrieval rates and factors affecting these rates in men
