The last phase of spermatogenesis involves spermatid elongation (spermiogenesis), where
the nucleus is remodeled by chromatin condensation, the excess cytoplasm is removed and …

Spermatogenesis, a study of germ cell development, is a long, orderly, and well‐defined
process occurring in seminiferous tubules of the testis. It is a temporal event whereby …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) were originally identified as stress-responsive proteins required
to deal with proteotoxic stresses. Besides being stress-protective and possible targets for …

Post-translational modification of tubulin serves as a powerful means for rapidly adjusting
the functional diversity of microtubules. Acetylation of the ε-amino group of K40 in α-tubulin …

Congenital anomalies of the kidneys or lower urinary tract (CAKUT) are the most common
causes of renal failure in children and account for 25% of end-stage renal disease in adults …

Mammalian sperm motility is a prerequisite for in vivo fertilization, and alterations in this
parameter are commonly observed in infertile males. However, we still do not have a …

Little is known about the metabolic profile of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) during
maturation. The aim of this study was to determine the differential participation of enzymatic …

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 …

In this manuscript, we describe the generation of a gene library for the expression of
HSP110/HSPH, HSP70/HSPA and HSP40/DNAJ members. First, the heat shock protein …

Seminal plasma is a fluid that originates from the testis, epididymis, prostate, and seminal
vesicles, and hence, proteomic studies may identify potential markers of infertility and other …
