[HTML][HTML] Epigenetic regulation of the histone-to-protamine transition during spermiogenesis

J Bao, MT Bedford - Reproduction (Cambridge, England), 2016 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In mammals, male germ cells differentiate from haploid round spermatids to flagella-
containing motile sperm, in a process called spermiogenesis. This process is distinct from …

Essential role of histone replacement and modifications in male fertility

T Wang, H Gao, W Li, C Liu - Frontiers in genetics, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Spermiogenesis is a complex cellular differentiation process that the germ cells undergo a
distinct morphological change, and the protamines replace the core histones to facilitate …

The dynamics and regulation of chromatin remodeling during spermiogenesis

SL Hao, FD Ni, WX Yang - Gene, 2019 - Elsevier
The functional sperm is the key factor for species continuation. The process

Insights into role of bromodomain, testis-specific (Brdt) in acetylated histone H4-dependent chromatin remodeling in mammalian spermiogenesis

S Dhar, A Thota, MRS Rao - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012 - ASBMB
Mammalian spermiogenesis is of considerable biological interest especially due to the
unique chromatin remodeling events that take place during spermatid maturation. Here, we …

Dpy19l2-deficient globozoospermic sperm display altered genome packaging and DNA damage that compromises the initiation of embryo development

Multi-target aptamer assay for endocrine-disrupting phthalic acid ester panel screening in plastic leachates

HJ Lim, H Song, A Son - Chemosphere, 2024 - Elsevier
A multi-target aptamer assay was developed as a phthalic acid ester (PAE) panel to screen
