After natural or artificial insemination, the spermatozoon starts a journey from the site of
deposition to the place of fertilization. However, only a small subset of the spermatozoa …

The capacity for sperm storage within the female reproductive tract occurs widely across all
groups of vertebrate species and is exceptionally well developed in some reptiles (maximum …

In mammals, sperm migrate through the female reproductive tract to reach the egg; however,
our understanding of this journey is highly limited. To shed light on this process, we focused …

Mammalian fertilization remains a poorly understood event with the vast majority of studies
done in the mouse model. The purpose of this review is to revise the current knowledge …
