BACKGROUND Spermatozoa acquire their motility and fertilizing abilities during their
maturation through the epididymis. This process is controlled by epididymal epithelial cells …

Significance: Among the 200 or so cell types that comprise mammals, spermatozoa have an
ambiguous relationship with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) inherent in the consumption …

Viral infections have haunted humankind since times immemorial. Overpopulation,
globalization, and extensive deforestation have created an ideal environment for a viral …

Background Previous research has illustrated the role of cilia as mechanical and sensory
antennae in various organs within the mammalian male reproductive system across different …

The epididymis is an important male accessory sex organ where sperm motility and
fertilization ability develop. When spermatozoa carrying foreign antigens enter the …

The mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS) is the primary innate immune cell group in male
reproductive tissues, maintaining the balance of pro-inflammatory and immune tolerance …

Sperm motility is a crucial trait in chicken production, and the epididymis is an essential
organ in the reproductive system. Currently, the molecular mechanisms underlying sperm …

In the male reproductive tract, the epididymis is an essential organ for sperm maturation, in
which sperm cells acquire mobility and the ability to fertilize oocytes while being stored in a …

The vascular and perivascular cells, including telocytes (TCs) and immune cells, play an
important role in male fertility. The current study intended to describe in detail the …

Introduction: The epididymis is important for sperm transport, maturation, and storage.
Methods: The head and tail of the epididymis of 5-week-old and 10-week-old C57 BL/6J …
