Parasitic diseases caused by protozoans are highly prevalent around the world,
disproportionally affecting developing countries, where coinfection with other …

Membraneless organelles, or biomolecular condensates, enable cells to compartmentalize
material and processes into unique biochemical environments. While specific, attractive …

Introduction Cisplatin, a commonly used anticancer compound, exhibits severe off-target
organ toxicity. Due to its wide application in cancer treatment, the reduction of its damage to …

As in most cells, intracellular pH regulation is fundamental for sperm physiology. Key sperm
functions like swimming, maturation, and a unique exocytotic process, the acrosome …

Artificial insemination with chilled stallion semen is hampered by a limited period of
maximum fertility maintenance (24–48 h). This study used multiparametric flow cytometry to …

Bacterial contamination in the semen deteriorates spermatozoa function. One mechanism
through which this may occur is by inducing a premature form of the acrosome reaction …

As a common pollutant in the water environment, microcystin leucine arginine (MC-LR) can
enter semen and damage the sperm in animals. However, the mechanism by which MC-LR …

Background/objective The effects of fathers' high-fat diet (HFD) on the reproductive health of
their male offspring (HFD-F1) remain to be elucidated. Parental obesity is known to have a …

It is well-established that intracellular Ca2+ plays a central role in cell death, survival and
adaptation decisions, including, but not limited to, fertilization [1, 2], modulation of …

In bacteria, polymers of inorganic phosphates, particularly linear polyphosphate, are used
as alternative phosphate donors for adenosine triphosphate production. A six-chain form of …
