Disrupting this process at any point can result in nonfunctional sperm and male infertility. "Abnormal sperm formation ...

The human body is full of checks and balances that ensure correct growth, development, and function of all our different ...

Researchers found that TEX38 and ZDHHC19 co-localize on the plasma membrane of spermatids and mediate S-palmitoylation of ARRDC5, a crucial protein for spermatogenesis. Disrupting either TEX38 or ...

“Abnormal sperm formation impairs their ability to fertilize egg cells,” explains Yuki Kaneda, lead author of the study. “While some genes that are essential for spermiogenesis have been ...

Researchers from Osaka University find that the TEX38/ZDHHC19 complex is crucial to spermatogenesis and its disruption might ...

failure to produce a reservoir of sperm stem cells or abnormal sperm shape or movement. Interestingly, some other genes had no impact when removed individually, but did lead to the production of ...

A genetic mutation in mice affects cells required for sexual reproduction and holds clues about male infertility that could pave the way for new treatments and male contraceptives, a Rutgers ...

The human body is full of checks and balances that ensure correct growth, development, and function of all our different systems. Now ...

Researchers develop a novel Tle6 gene hetero knockout mice model to understand the role of this gene in male fertility and find that its deficiency results in abnormal sperm structure, reduced ...
