Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is an evolutionarily conserved zinc finger-containing
transcription factor that regulates diverse cellular processes such as cell growth …

Spermatogenesis is a concerted sequence of events during maturation of spermatogonia
into spermatozoa. The process involves differential gene-expression and cell-cell interplay …

INTRODUCTION Despite the father transmitting half of the heritable information to the
embryo, the focus of preconception health has been the mother. Paternal effects have been …

The asymmetric polarization of cells allows specialized functions to be performed at discrete
subcellular locales. Spatiotemporal coordination of polarization between groups of cells …

Follicle-stimulating hormone signaling is essential for the initiation and early stages of
spermatogenesis. Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor is exclusively expressed in Sertoli …

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland in a coordinated
hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis event, plays important roles in reproduction and …

Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a transcription factor highly conserved in evolution. It is
particularly well known for its role in inducing pluripotent stem cells. In addition, KLF4 plays …

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) maintain spermatogenesis by self-renewal and
generation of spermatogonia committed to differentiation. Under certain in vitro conditions …

Context: The vitamin D system has pleiotropic effects not only in bone metabolism. Its role in
testicular steroidogenesis is new and deserves intensive research. Objective: We …

Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) is a commercially and culturally important species to
the people that live along the northern Pacific Ocean coast. There are two main sockeye …
