The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism of low-dose ionizing radiation (IR) induced apoptosis of undifferentiated spermatogonia in vivo and in vitro.Following 50 mGy IR, testicular tissues were collected from the adult DBA/2 mice at 1, 2 and 24 h; mice in the control group received pseudo-irradiation.

Selenoproteins in mammalian spermatogenesis:role of the nuclear GPx4 [PDF]
The selenoprotein Phospholipid Hydroperoxide Glutathione Peroxidase (PHGPx/GPx4) is an enzyme unique among the various GPxs, because it is able to use protein thiols, beside glutathione, The GPx4 gene encodes for three isoforms having different ...

Effects of paternal ionizing radiation exposure on fertility and offspring's health
Purpose The intergenerational effects of ionizing radiation remain controversial. Extensive insights have been revealed for DNA mutations and cancer incidence in progeny, yet many of these results were obtained by immediate post‐radiation mating. However,

Mitochondrial fission regulates germ cell differentiation by suppressing ROS-mediated activation of Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in the Drosophila larval testis. [PDF]
Mitochondria are essential organelles that have recently emerged as hubs for several metabolic and signaling pathways in the cell. Mitochondrial morphology is regulated by constant fusion and fission events to maintain a functional mitochondrial network ...

Establishment of a normal medakafish spermatogonial cell line capable of sperm production in vitro [PDF]
Spermatogonia are the male germ stem cells that continuously produce sperm for the next generation. Spermatogenesis is a complicated process that proceeds through mitotic phase of stem cell renewal and differentiation, meiotic phase, and postmeiotic ...

Chromosome X-encoded Cancer/Testis antigens are less frequently expressed in non-seminomatous germ cell tumors than in seminomas [PDF]
Cancer/Testis (CT) antigens are normally only expressed in germ cells and yet are aberrantly activated in a wide variety of human cancers. Most chromosome X-encoded CT antigens (CT-X) show restricted expression in pre-meiotic germ cells in adult testis ...
