As germ cells progress through spermatogenesis, they undergo a dramatic transformation,
wherein a single, diploid spermatogonial stem cell ultimately produces thousands of highly …

The kinesin motor KIFC1 has been suggested as a potential chemotherapy target due to its
critical role in clustering of the multiple centrosomes found in cancer cells. In this regard …

Kinesins are essential for the proper function of many types of polar cells, including
epithelial cells, neurons, and sperm. Spermatogenesis is closely associated with many …

Spermatogenesis is a transitionary process in which the diploid spermatogonia transform
into haploid mature spermatozoa. Actin and myosin have been implicated in various aspects …

Sperm malformation is one of the main reasons for male infertility, but the precise
mechanisms of this process remain undiscovered. The major process of spermiogenesis is …

Background Acrosome formation and nuclear shaping are the main events in
spermatogenesis. During spermiogenesis in Exopalaemon modestus, a unique microtubular …

Spermatogenesis is a fundamental process in sexual development and reproduction, in
which the diploid spermatogonia transform into haploid mature spermatozoa. This process is …

Next generation sequencing and mass spectrometry technologies have recently expanded
the availability of whole transcriptomes and proteomes beyond classical model organisms in …

Background The Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis belongs to the Class Crustacea,
Decapoda, Brachyura. The spermatozoon of this species is of aflagellated type, it has a …

Spermiogenesis is a developmental process undergoing continuous differentiation to drive a
diploid spermatogonium towards a haploid sperm cell. This striking transformation from …
