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 ...

Sperm Selection through Microvesicle-Mediated ChemotaxisInduced by Follicular Fluid and Cumulus Cells [PDF]
Cell JournalObjective: Selecting the most competent sperm is crucial for improving the success of intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI). Chemotaxis-based sperm selection may facilitate the selection of spermatozoa with superior motility andfertilization capability.

Evolutionary relationship between organellar DNA inheritance patterns and traits of seed plants
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise In plants, organellar DNA is predominantly maternally inherited, but biparental and paternal inheritance have also been observed. Specific mechanisms, such as plastid exclusion during pollen mitosis or genome degradation, ensure maternal inheritance.

Functional Specialization of Respiratory and Olfactory Mucus Revealed by Proteomic Profiling
International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Mucus overlies the nasal mucosa in the respiratory and olfactory regions, which perform distinct physiological functions. However, proteomic differences between respiratory mucosa (RM) and olfactory cleft (OC) mucus remain unclear.

Proteins involved in motility and sperm-egg interaction evolve more rapidly in mouse spermatozoa.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Proteomic studies of spermatozoa have identified a large catalog of integral sperm proteins. Rapid evolution of these proteins may underlie adaptive changes of sperm traits involved in different events leading to fertilization, although the selective ...

Tracing the evolutionary history of the morpho‐anatomy of baculum in primates
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Animal morphology reflects both evolutionary history and present‐day adaptation. Male mammal copulatory structures such as the baculum (penile bone) are ideal for studying these processes because of their complexity and high interspecific variability. In primates, however, research has focused mostly on baculum length.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Stenopodidea represents one of the basal lineages within Pleocyemata, yet the male reproductive system (MRS) of this group remains poorly understood, with limited information available regarding its morphology and function. This study provides the first detailed description of the MRS in four stenopodidean shrimp species from two families ...

Sexual Selection: Sperm in the Fast Lane [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 Sperm competition has led to spectacular adaptations in males and their ejaculates. A recent study of Tanganykan cichlids provides compelling evidence that sperm competition can drive the evolution of faster, longer sperm.
