Loss of Cx43 in Murine Sertoli Cells Leads to Altered Prepubertal Sertoli Cell Maturation and Impairment of the Mitosis-Meiosis Switch. [PDF]
Male factor infertility is a problem in today's society but many underlying causes are still unknown. The generation of a conditional Sertoli cell (SC)-specific connexin 43 (Cx43) knockout mouse line (SCCx43KO) has provided a translational model ...

Endocrine predictors of testicular biopsy efficacy in patients with azoospermia
OBJECTIVE. The study identified predictors of endocrine detection of sperm in case of open testicular biopsy in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The research was based on the results of examination and testicular biopsy of

An orchestrated intron retention program in meiosis controls timely usage of transcripts during germ cell differentiation [PDF]
Global transcriptome reprogramming during sper-matogenesis ensures timely expression of factors in each phase of male germ cell differentiation. Sper-matocytes and spermatids require particularly exten-sive reprogramming of gene expression to switch from

The predictive value of serum sex hormones for the outcome of testicular sperm aspiration in azoospermia [PDF]
Azoospermia is a condition that affects the reproductive health of approximately 1% of the male population, typically diagnosed through testicular biopsy. Noninvasive serum markers can play a significant role in the diagnosis of azoospermia diagnosis.

Predictive factors of successful microdissection testicular sperm extraction [PDF]
Abstract Azoospermia in men requires microsurgical reconstruction or a procedure for sperm retrieval with assisted reproduction to allow fertility. While the chance of successful retrieval of sperm in men with obstructive azoospermia approaches >90%, the chances of sperm retrieval in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) are not as ...
