The Microtubule Cytoskeleton during the Early Drosophila Spermiogenesis
Cells, 2020 Sperm elongation and nuclear shaping in Drosophila largely depends on the microtubule cytoskeleton that in early spermatids has centrosomal and non-centrosomal origins.

Inactivation of the Celf1 gene that encodes an RNA-binding protein delays the first wave of spermatogenesis in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: The first wave of spermatogenesis in mammals is characterized by a sequential and synchronous appearance of germ cells in the prepubertal testis.

The role of the septin family in spermiogenesis [PDF]
Spermatogenesis, 2011 SEPTINS (FULL NAME: Septin; symbol name: SEPT) belong to a family of polymerizing GTP-binding proteins that are required for many cellular functions, including membrane compartmentalization, vesicle trafficking, mitosis and cytoskeletal remodeling. Two of the 14 family members in the mammalian species, Septin12 and 14 are expressed specifically in the ...

Loss of Cep72 affects the morphology of spermatozoa in mice
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The centrosome regulates mammalian meiosis by affecting recombination, synapsis, chromosome segregation, and spermiogenesis. Cep72 is one of the critical components of the centrosome.

BAF-L Modulates Histone-to-Protamine Transition during Spermiogenesis [PDF]
, 2022 Maturing male germ cells undergo a unique developmental process in spermiogenesis that replaces nucleosomal histones with protamines, the process of which is critical for testicular development and male fertility.

TSNAXIP1 is required for sperm head formation and male fertility
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2023 Purpose TRANSLIN (TSN) and its binding partner TSNAX have been reported to contribute to a wide spectrum of biological activities including spermatogenesis. TSN accompanies specific mRNA transport in male germ cells through intercellular bridges.

Biology Open, 2021 Ciliary motility is powered by a suite of highly conserved axoneme-specific dynein motor complexes. In humans, the impairment of these motors through mutation results in the disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
