There is a great body of evidence suggesting that in both humans and animal models the
microRNA-34/449 (miR-34/449) family plays a crucial role for normal testicular functionality …

Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) seriously endanger human health by interfering
with the normal function of reproductive systems. In males, EEDs can affect sperm formation …

Background During epididymal transit, spermatozoa go through several functional
maturation steps, resulting from interactions with epididymal secretomes specific to each …

Hyriopsis cumingii is an important species for freshwater pearl cultivation in China. In terms
of pearl production, males have larger pearls and better glossiness than females, but there …

MicroRNAs modulate male fertility by regulating gene expression. In this study, dynamics of
sperm miR‐15a, miR‐29b and miR‐34a from high fertility (HF) and low fertility (LF) bulls …

Genetic markers have been used to assess the freezability of semen. With the advancement
in molecular genetic techniques, it is possible to assess the relationships between sperm …

Yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) is a commercially important fish in Asian coastal
waters. Although natural sex reversal has been described in yellowfin seabream, the …

Semen infertility or sub-fertility, whether in humans or livestock species, remains a major
concern for clinicians and technicians involved in reproduction. Indeed, they can cause …

The testis transcriptome is highly complex and includes RNAs that potentially hybridize to
form double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). We isolated dsRNA using the monoclonal J2 antibody …

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are~ 22-nt single-stranded noncoding RNAs with regulatory
roles in a wide range of cellular functions by repressing eukaryotic gene expression at a …
