The presence and cellular distribution of heat protein 70 (Hsp70) in ejaculated, capacitated,
and acrosome‐reacted boar spermatozoa was evaluated by immunofluorescence and …

BACKGROUND Previously we showed that the human sperm proteasome plays significant
roles during mammalian fertilization. Here we studied the effect of fibronectin (Fn), an …

We have previously shown, using antibodies, that the sperm alpha6beta1 integrin is
involved in mouse gamete fusion in vitro. Here we report the conditional knockdown of the …

Membrane modifications in sperm cells represent a key step in sperm capacitation; however,
the molecular basis of these modifications is not fully understood. Ezrin is the best-studied …

The aim of this study was to investigate whether apoptosis occurs in cumulus cells during in
vitro maturation (IVM) of bovine cumulus-enclosed oocytes (CEOs). The bovine CEOs …

This study was designed to determine whether calreticulin (CRT), a chaperone protein, is
present in in vitro-matured (IVM) pig oocytes and to study its potential role in the block to …

The rapid growth of published literature makes biomedical text mining increasingly
invaluable for unpacking implicit knowledge hidden in unstructured text. We employed …

The aim of this work was to determine whether laminin (Ln), an extracellular matrix protein,
induces the intracellular events that may be involved in producing the acrosome reaction in …

Following gamete membrane fusion, cortical granules (CG) undergo exocytosis participating
in 22 the block to polyspermy. Our objective was to determine whether calreticulin (CRT), a …

La reproducción es un proceso biológico que permite la creación de nuevos organismos,
siendo una característica común de todas las formas de vida conocidas. Las modalidades …
