The testis is an important male reproductive organ, which ensures reproductive function via
the secretion of testosterone and the generation of spermatozoa. Testis development begins …

For decades now, sperm cryopreservation has been a pillar of assisted reproduction in
animals as well as humans. Nevertheless, the success of cryopreservation varies across …

The human fallopian tube epithelium (hFTE) is the site of fertilization, early embryo
development, and the origin of most high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOCs). Little is …

Decreased sperm motility is a leading cause of male infertility and persistent organic
pollutants are known to contribute significantly to the development of this disease. The …

Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is essential for cellular function and organismal health
and requires the concerted actions of protein synthesis, folding, transport, and turnover. In …

Potassium channels are involved in membrane hyperpolarization and ion homeostasis
regulation during human sperm capacitation. However, the types of potassium channels in …

Background Aging is characterized by a general decline in cellular function, which ultimately
affects whole body homeostasis. This study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying …

Abstract Background and Purpose Damage to the testis following exposure to ionizing
radiation has become an urgent problem to be solved. Here we have investigated if …

In vitro production of functional gametes can revolutionize reproduction by reducing
generation intervals and accelerating genetic breeding in aquaculture, especially in fish with …

Heparin is a glycosaminoglycan polymer that is commonly used as an anticoagulant.
Heparin also induces in vitro capacitation in spermatozoa, although its molecular …
