After leaving the testis, spermatozoa have not yet acquired the ability to move progressively
and are unable to fertilize oocytes. To become fertilization competent, they must go through …

In the testis, cell adhesion and junctional molecules permit specific interactions and
intracellular communication between germ and Sertoli cells and apposed Sertoli cells …

Male fertility problems range from diminished production of sperm, or oligozoospermia, to
nonmeasurable levels of sperm in semen, or azoospermia, which is diagnosed in nearly 2 …

Seminal plasma is a fluid that originates from the testis, epididymis, prostate, and seminal
vesicles, and hence, proteomic studies may identify potential markers of infertility and other …

Formation of spermatozoa of normal shape, number, and motility is insufficient for the male
siring of pups. The spermatozoa must be accompanied by sound fertilizing ability. We found …

Seminal plasma is a promising biological fluid to use for noninvasive clinical diagnostics of
male reproductive system disorders. To verify a list of prospective male infertility biomarkers …

Patients who develop testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) are at higher risk to be subfertile
than the general population. The conditions are believed to originate during foetal life …

Background Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is characterized by a low rate of metastasis, slow
growth and strong stroma dependency, with significant morbidity and public health burden …

Infertility is an important aspect of human reproduction. It affects up to 15% of couples, with
the male factor contributing to approximately 50% of all cases. Azoospermia is one of the …

Introduction Spermatozoa are highly specialized cells with unique morphology. In addition,
spermatozoa lose a considerable amount of cytoplasm during spermiogenesis, when they …
