Infertility due to lack of zona pellucida caused by a compound heterozygous mutation in ZP1 gene

Reproductive and Developmental Medicine, 2018
Lack of the zona pellucida (ZP) is one of the manifestations of an oocyte maturation disorder. In recent years, genetic factors have attracted much attention as a possible cause of ZP anomalies.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Fish Sperm Subpopulations Detection, Separation, and Application: Current State and Trends

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Modern advances in sperm biology highlight the necessity of recognising intra‐ejaculate heterogeneity as a central concept for advancing both the fundamental understanding of fertilisation processes and the development of artificial reproduction techniques in fishes. ABSTRACT Sperm subpopulations represent a fundamental manifestation of intra‐ejaculate

Arrdc4‐dependent extracellular vesicle biogenesis is required for sperm maturation

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2021
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important players in cell to cell communication in reproductive systems. Notably, EVs have been found and characterized in the male reproductive tract, however, direct functional evidence for their importance in mediating

Paternal Circadian Disruption Impairs Offspring Cognition via Sperm microRNAs

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Paternal circadian disruption remodels the sperm small RNA payload, elevating miR‐92a‐3p/miR‐25‐3p levels and perturbing early embryonic gene regulatory programs. Microinjection experiments and single‐embryo transcriptomics reveal sex‐specific developmental vulnerabilities, ultimately impairing offspring hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognition ...

Porcine zona pellucida immunocontraception in mares [PDF]

, 2017
Immunocontraceptive vaccines induce an immune response to a hormone or protein critical for normal reproductive function, culminating in infertility. Interest in zona pellucida-based immunocontraception began over forty years ago. The zona pellucida (ZP)

Multiple Roles of Protamine Kinase SRPK1 and Phosphatase PP1γ in Sperm Development

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 7, Page 42-56, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Protein phosphorylation regulates key events of male germ cell differentiation. In the testis, SRPK1 and PP1γ are involved in protamine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, respectively, and their deregulation is linked to defective chromatin structure and male infertility.

Fecal Proteomics Suggest Potential Biomarkers for Non‐Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Steatohepatitis

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, Volume 20, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Non‐alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) affects about a quarter of the world's population. Liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing the progressive form of NAFLD called Non‐alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) but it is invasive, prone to sampling errors and observer variability, and impractical for widespread ...

Recombinant human zona pellucida protein C produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells binds to human spermatozoa and inhibits sperm-zona pellucida interaction [PDF]

, 2008
Recombinant human zona pellucida protein C expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells associates to the acrosomal region of human spermatozoa and inhibits sperm-zona pellucida interaction in the hemizona assay.
