Structural specializations of the sperm tail [PDF]
Cell, 2023 Sperm motility is crucial to reproductive success in sexually reproducing organisms. Impaired sperm movement causes male infertility, which is increasing globally. Sperm are powered by a microtubule-based molecular machine-the axoneme-but it is unclear how axonemal microtubules are ornamented to support motility in diverse fertilization environments ...

Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate reduces sperm motility by decreasing sperm tail energy supply
Ecotoxicology and Environmental SafetyDi (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is widespread in the environment. It can impair sperm function through damaging the sperm development process. However, few studies have focused on the sperm tail that is directly related to sperm motility.

, 2022 The project aims to measure and analyze the change of angle between cell and sperm cell during their interaction. The program allows interactively selecting the cell of interest to measure using napari Viewer. Requirements are specified in requirements.txt. Developed in IMCF in Biocev, Czech Republic.

RAB-like 2 has an essential role in male fertility, sperm intra-flagellar transport, and tail assembly. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 A significant percentage of young men are infertile and, for the majority, the underlying cause remains unknown. Male infertility is, however, frequently associated with defective sperm motility, wherein the sperm tail is a modified flagella/cilia ...

The missing linker between SUN5 and PMFBP1 in sperm head-tail coupling apparatus
Nature Communications, 2021 The sperm head-to-tail coupling apparatus ensures sperm head-tail integrity, but mechanistic insights remain limited. Here the authors demonstrate that CENTLEIN links and controls the interaction between SUN5 and PMFBP1, indicating that its impairments ...
