Semen analysis is usually the first step in the assessment of male fertility. Although analyzes
provide valuable information about male fertility, success of cytoplasmic sperm injection …

Male reproductive functions are strictly regulated in order to maintain sperm production and
fertility. All processes are controlled by precise regulation of gene expression, which creates …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are composed of nucleotides located in the nucleus and
cytoplasm; these are transcribed by RNA polymerase II and are greater than 200 nt in …

Background It was believed earlier that spermatozoa have no traces of RNA because of loss
of most of the cytoplasm. Recent studies have revealed the presence of about 3000 different …

STUDY QUESTION Is the noncoding transcriptional landscape during spermatogenesis
conserved between human and rodents? SUMMARY ANSWER We identified a core group …

Purpose: Male infertility is a complex health condition. To our knowledge there are no
molecular biomarkers of male infertility. Sperm RNA is a potential biomarker for detecting …

Background: Infertility is a serious health issue that affects people all around the world. One
of the most common reasons for male infertility is sperm abnormalities. Researchers and …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNA) play a key role in the regulation of gene expression
through the translational suppression and control of post-transcriptional modifications. Aim …
