Spermatogenesis is the cellular process by which spermatogonia develop into mature
spermatids within seminiferous tubules, the functional unit of the mammalian testis, under …

The Notch signaling pathway is conserved among mammalian species and controls
proliferation, differentiation, and cell death in many organs throughout the body including the …

Spermatogonial stem cells are quiescent, undergo self-renewal or differentiating divisions,
thereby forming the cellular basis of spermatogenesis. This cellular development is …

Cattle-yak, a crossbreed of yak and cattle, which can exhibit obvious heterosis and can
adapt to the harsh environmental conditions of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (QTP). However …

Objective To investigate microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in the seminal plasma of
nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients with different histopathologic patterns and …

Signal peptide peptidase (SPP) and the four homologous SPP‐like (SPPL) proteases
constitute a family of intramembrane aspartyl proteases with selectivity for type II‐oriented …

Background Notch signaling pathway is involved in contact‐dependent communication
between the cells of seminiferous epithelium, and its proper activity is important for …

Our recent study demonstrated altered expression of Notch ligands, receptors, and effector
genes in testes of pubertal rats following reduced androgen production or signaling. Herein …

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is now recognized as an important physiological
regulator in the immune and reproductive systems, and in the development of the liver and …

Delta/Serrate/LAG-2 (DSL) proteins, which serve as ligands for Notch receptors, mediate
direct cell–cell interactions involved in the determination of cell fate and functioning. The …
