Testicular Biopsies in Adolescent and Adult Andrological Patients: The EAA Clinical Guidelines

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Histological evaluation of testicular tissue is central to the assessment of infertile men, particularly those at an increased risk of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). Traditionally, testicular biopsies have been used primarily for diagnostic purposes, such as the detection of germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS). With advances in

Diabetes‐Induced Testicular Injury: Potential Protective Roles of Curcumin, Garcinia kola, and Momordica charantia in Rats

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces multifaceted cellular and structural alterations in the male reproductive system, thereby predisposing to infertility. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the morphological, stereological, biochemical, histopathological, and ultrastructural changes induced by DM in testicular tissue, and to ...

Distinct roles of two myosins in C. elegans spermatid differentiation.

PLoS Biology, 2019
During spermatogenesis, interconnected haploid spermatids segregate undesired cellular contents into residual bodies (RBs) before detaching from RBs. It is unclear how this differentiation process is controlled to produce individual spermatids or motile ...

Sperm Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number and Nuclear DNA Methylation Across Clinical and Non‐Clinical Preconception Cohorts

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm mitochondrial DNA copy number is an emerging marker of male fertility, with elevated mtDNAcn associated with poor semen quality across various populations. Sperm DNA methylation has also been previously demonstrated to be negatively correlated with semen parameters in IVF cohorts.

Comparative description and discussion of spermiogenesis and spermatozoal ultrastructure in some species of Heptapteridae and Pseudopimelodidae (Teleostei: Siluriformes)

Neotropical Ichthyology
The data obtained in the present study on spermiogenesis and spermatozoal ultrastructure of Pseudopimelodidae and Heptapteridae show that they share some characteristics, but greatly differ from each other. The main differences are the occurrence of type

Anatomical and Histological Structures of the Male Reproductive System of Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae): Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy Study

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first detailed morphological analysis of the male reproductive system of Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) using stereo microscopy, light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The male reproductive system of C.

Anatomical and Histological Descriptions of the Male Reproductive System of the Alfalfa Weevil of Hypera postica (Gyllenhal, 1813) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopies

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Features of the reproductive organs, such as the number of testicular follicles, testis colour and the morphology of the glands, can be used as systematic characters. For this purpose, this paper was the first description of the male reproductive system anatomy and histology of Hypera postica (Gyllenhal, 1813) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a ...

Biallelic Truncating Variant in LRGUK Is Associated With Severe Multiple Morphological Abnormalities of the Sperm Flagella and Sperm Nuclear Defects in Humans

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
A homozygous truncating variant in LRGUK results in loss of the LRGUK protein and causes multiple morphological abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF), disrupted axonemal architecture, central pair defects, abnormal chromatin organization, and severe male infertility, establishing LRGUK as a novel human infertility gene.

Critical Windows of Air Pollution Exposure During Spermatogenesis and Intrauterine Insemination Outcomes

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Male preconception health remains a critically under‐addressed area of family planning. While research suggests air pollution may harm semen quality, downstream impacts on pregnancy, particularly for more vulnerable infertility treatment populations, are understudied.

Atypical septate junctions maintain the somatic enclosure around maturing spermatids and prevent premature sperm release in Drosophila testis

Biology Open, 2019
Tight junctions prevent paracellular flow and maintain cell polarity in an epithelium. These junctions are also required for maintaining the blood-testis barrier, which is essential for sperm differentiation.
