Cryopreservation of semen and artificial insemination have an important, positive impact on
cattle production, and product quality. Through the use of cryopreserved semen and artificial …

Mammalian fertilization is a fascinating process that leads to the formation of a new
individual. Eggs and sperm are complex cells that must meet at the appropriate time and …

The resolution of fluorescence microscopy images is limited by the physical properties of
light. In the last decade, numerous super-resolution microscopy (SRM) approaches have …

Intracellular Ca 2+ is a key regulator of cell signaling and sperm are not the exception. Cells
often use cytoplasmic Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+] i) oscillations as a means to decodify …

Sperm differentiation encompasses a complex sequence of morphological changes that
takes place in the seminiferous epithelium. In this process, haploid round spermatids …

The acrosome reaction (AR) is an exocytotic process essential for mammalian fertilization. It
involves diverse physiological changes (biochemical, biophysical, and morphological) that …

Mammalian spermatozoa are not mature after ejaculation and must undergo additional
functional and structural changes within female reproductive tracts to achieve subsequent …

The fusion pore controls the release of exocytotic vesicle contents through a precise
orchestration of lipids from the fusing membranes and proteins. There is a major lipid …

Acrosomal exocytosis (AR) is a critical process that sperm need to undergo to fertilize an
egg. The evaluation of the presence or absence of the acrosome is usually performed by …

Actins are among the most abundant and conserved proteins in eukaryotic cells, where they
form filamentous structures that perform vital roles in key cellular processes. Although large …
