A Novel Cultivation System for Germ Cell Proliferation and Sustaining Whole Testicular Niche

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hydrogel microneedle‐based system enables whole testicular cultivation, supporting spermatogonial proliferation and enhancing spermatogenesis in vitro. This ‘whole testicular spermatogonia pool’ (WTSP) significantly increases spermatid production and fertility potential in mice. This system also promotes spermatogonial expansion in human fetal testes,

Understanding spermatogenesis is a prerequisite for treatment

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2003
Throughout spermatogenesis multiplication, maturation and differentiation of germ cells results in the formation of the male gamete. The understanding of spermatogenesis needs detailed informations about the organization of the germinal epithelium, the ...

Effects of dioxins on animal spermatogenesis: A state-of-the-art review

Frontiers in Reproductive Health, 2022
The male reproductive system is especially affected by dioxins, a group of persistent environmental pollutants, resulting in irreversible abnormalities including effects on sexual function and fertility in adult males and possibly on the development of ...

Norepinephrine Induces Sertoli Cell Ferroptosis via Receptors Desensitization Causing Stress‐Related Male Reproductive Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Psychological stress activates the sympathetic–adrenal axis, elevating norepinephrine (NE) and suppressing reproductive hormones, thereby impairing male reproduction. Excess NE overactivates and desensitizes β‐adrenergic receptors (β‐ARs), triggering Sertoli cell ferroptosis and disrupting spermatogenesis.

SRSF2 is required for mRNA splicing during spermatogenesis

BMC Biology, 2023
Background RNA splicing plays significant roles in fundamental biological activities. However, our knowledge about the roles of alternative splicing and underlying mechanisms during spermatogenesis is limited. Results Here, we report that Serine/arginine-

Purinergic Signaling in Spermatogenesis

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the essential source of cellular energy. Over the last two decades, however, ATP has also attracted increasing interest as an extracellular signal that activates purinergic plasma membrane receptors of the P2 family.

Disruption of Gut Microbiota‐Mediated De Novo NAD+ Synthesis Contributes to the Development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that patients with PCOS exhibit altered gut microbial profiles, and FMT from PCOS patients induces PCOS‐like symptoms in mice. Specifically, gut dysbiosis reduces 3‐HAA levels in the context of PCOS. Administration of 3‐HAA to mice alleviates PCOS by promoting de novo NAD+ synthesis.

Application of testicular organ culture system for the evaluation of spermatogenesis impairment

Scientific Reports
Recently, it was reported that a testicular organ culture system (TOCS) using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chips with excellent oxygen permeability and biocompatibility, called the PDMS-chip ceiling (PC) method, enables improved spermatogenesis efficiency.
