Sex determination in mythology and history [PDF]
, 2005 The history of ideas on how the sexes became divided spans at least three thousand years. The biblical account of the origin of Eve, and the opinions of the philosophers of classical Greece, have unexpected bearings on present-day ideas.

Mouse genome engineering uncovers 18 genes dispensable for male reproduction
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Male infertility is an intricate multifactorial disease involving the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Genetic anomalies account for more than 15% of all male infertility cases; however, diagnosing them exhibits enormous challenges due to variable symptomatic presentations and limited knowledge of gene functions.

tBRD-1 and tBRD-2 regulate expression of genes necessary for spermatid differentiation
Biology Open, 2017 Male germ cell differentiation proceeds to a large extent in the absence of active gene transcription. In Drosophila, hundreds of genes whose proteins are required during post-meiotic spermatid differentiation (spermiogenesis) are transcribed in primary ...

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background The oxytocin receptor (OR) is a G‐protein‐coupled receptor recently identified in human spermatozoa, whose origin and role in sperm physiology remain unknown. Objectives In this study, using the pig as a model, we examine the presence of the OR in ejaculated spermatozoa through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, and investigate ...

Testicular endocrine activity is upregulated by D-Aspartic acid in the green frog Rana esculenta [PDF]
, 2004 This study investigated the involvement of D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) in testicular steroidogenesis of the green frog Rana esculenta and its effect on stimulation of thumb pad morphology and glandular activity, a typical testosterone-dependent secondary ...

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Study aimed to obtain insights into physiological responses to immunocastration in pubertal boars by evaluating effects of alternative vaccination protocols and identifying a reliable immunocastration biomarker. Objectives It was hypothesized that the timing of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) suppression by immunocastration ...

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background More than 1000 genes have been identified as predominantly expressed in the human testis. Advances in gene editing technologies have enabled the rapid and efficient generation of genetically engineered mice. This approach facilitates the screening of genes essential for spermatogenesis by analyzing knockout mouse models.

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