New insights into the regulation of cholesterol efflux from the sperm membrane

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
Cholesterol is an essential component of the mammalian plasma membrane because it promotes membrane stability without comprising membrane fluidity. Given this important cellular role, cholesterol levels are tightly controlled at multiple levels.

Functional Analysis of Hydrolethalus Syndrome Protein HYLS1 in Ciliogenesis and Spermatogenesis in Drosophila

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Cilia and flagella are conserved subcellular organelles, which arise from centrioles and play critical roles in development and reproduction of eukaryotes. Dysfunction of cilia leads to life-threatening ciliopathies.

Role of Centriolar Matrix and Striated Rootlets in Centriolar Pairing and Orientation During Spermatogenesis in Hydractina echinata [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
Transmission electron microscopy of the spermatogenic stages of the hydroid, Hydractinia echinata, reveals a series of complex structural and positional changes in the centrioles of spermatocytes and spermatids.

Effects of 17α‐Ethinylestradiol on Development and Gonadal Differentiation in the Estuarine Mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In fish, sex determination and gonadal development are controlled by various genetic and environmental factors. In this study, experiments were conducted on the estuarine mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) to investigate gonadal differentiation following exposure to the synthetic estrogen, 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2).

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

open access: yes, 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.

Regulatory mechanisms of reproduction in locusts and grasshoppers

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Regulatory networks composed of numerous coding and noncoding genes play crucial roles in the reproduction of locusts and grasshoppers. This review integrates mechanistic advances in reproductive regulation, highlighting environmentally adaptive pathways and providing prospective targets for eco‐friendly pesticides.

Mouse tafazzin is required for male germ cell meiosis and spermatogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Barth syndrome is an X-linked mitochondrial disease, symptoms of which include neutropenia and cardiac myopathy. These symptoms are the most significant clinical consequences of a disease, which is increasingly recognised to have a variable presentation.

Epigenetic Silencing of Spermatocyte-Specific and Neuronal Genes by SUMO Modification of the Transcription Factor Sp3

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2010
SUMO modification of transcription factors is linked to repression of transcription. The physiological significance of SUMO attachment to a particular transcriptional regulator, however, is largely unknown.

Sequence and expression analysis of potential spermatogenesis‐specific gene cognates in the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

Spermatogenesis and spermiogenisis in the testes of local Iraqi breed cat (Felis catus)

open access: yesThe Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2012
The seminiferous epithelium of the testes of cat consists of two groups of cells; Spermatogenic cells and Sertoli cells. The interstitial areas are filled with Leydic cells, blood and lymph vessels, and connective tissue.
