Flow cytometry was employed to analyze intracellular protein expression in sperm cells, comparing fresh sperm with frozen ... By targeting ferroptosis, these inhibitors address a critical pathway ...

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage DNA and cellular function and lead to cell death throughout the body, including the testes and sperm. “Any factor (genetic, immunological ...

A Yale-led research team has uncovered how a naturally occurring biological mechanism found in mammals is able to prevent sperm cells from interacting with an egg, preventing fertilization. The ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

The discovery, identified in rodent models, offers a new path for scientific research ... mechanism found in mammals is able to prevent sperm cells from interacting with an egg, preventing ...

But while the embryo is still snug in the womb, its bipotent cells commit to one path or another and once they cross that threshold, they cannot go back. Defining the gene targets of ZBTB16.

Two new studies uncover how DNA folding controls sperm cell development. Researchers identified proteins that rearrange genomic architecture, setting cellular memory and fate. This 3D genome mapping ...
