Spermatogenesis is the cellular process by which spermatogonia develop into mature
spermatids within seminiferous tubules, the functional unit of the mammalian testis, under …

The blood-testis barrier (BTB) is one of the tightest blood-tissue barriers in the mammalian
body. It divides the seminiferous epithelium into the basal and the apical (adluminal) …

Behavioural traits in mammals are influenced by environmental factors, which can interact
with the genome and modulate its activity by complex molecular interplay. Environmental …

BACKGROUND Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic process of degrading and recycling
proteins and organelles to modulate various physiological and pathological events …

Spermatogenesis in mammals is characterized by two waves of piRNA expression: one
corresponds to classic piRNAs responsible for silencing retrotransponsons and the second …

Spermatogenesis is a developmental process during which a small number of diploid
spermatogonial stem cells produce a large number of highly differentiated spermatozoa …

Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most severe form of male infertility and typically
incurable. Defining the genetic basis of NOA has proven challenging, and the most …

Spermiogenesis is a complex cellular differentiation process that the germ cells undergo a
distinct morphological change, and the protamines replace the core histones to facilitate …

Adult germline stem cells (AGSCs) self-renew (Thy1+ enriched) or commit to gametogenesis
(Kit+ enriched). To better understand how chromatin regulates AGSC biology and …

A proper dialogue between spermatozoa and the egg is essential for conception of a new
individual in sexually reproducing animals. Ca2+ is crucial in orchestrating this unique event …
