BACKGROUND Spermatozoa are highly differentiated, transcriptionally inert cells
characterized by a compact nucleus with minimal cytoplasm. Nevertheless they contain a …

With this review we try to give a comprehensive overview of the current methods used in
research to assess sperm quality. In addition, we identify some of the most important factors …

Abstract Background Small RNAs present in bovine ejaculate can be linked to sperm

Since their discovery approximately three decades ago, sperm-borne RNAs, both
large/small and coding/noncoding, have been reported in multiple organisms, and some …

Infertility or subfertility of bovine spermatozoa may lead to disintegration of the breeding
system and large economic losses. Recently, proteomics have identified candidates for the …

Having been debated for many years, the presence and role of spermatozoal RNAs is
resolving, and their contribution to development is now appreciated. Data from different …

Mammalian spermatozoa deliver various classes of RNAs to the oocyte during fertilization,
and many of them may regulate fertility. The objective of the present study was to determine …

Crossbred bulls produced by crossing Bos taurus and Bos indicus suffer with high incidence
