maturation through the epididymis. This process is controlled by epididymal epithelial cells …

Male infertility is a commonly encountered pathology that is estimated to be a contributory
factor in approximately 50% of couples seeking recourse to assisted reproductive …

Spermatozoa acquire fertilization potential during passage through a highly specialized
region of the extratesticular ductal system known as the epididymis. In the absence of de …

Forecasted increases in the prevalence and severity of extreme weather events
accompanying changes in climatic behavior pose potential risk to the reproductive capacity …

The aims of this study were to investigate the proteome of koala spermatozoa and that of the
prostatic bodies with which they interact during ejaculation. For this purpose, spermatozoa …

Residing between the testes and the vas deferens, the epididymis is a highly convoluted
tubule whose unique luminal microenvironment is crucial for the functional maturation of …

Reproductive biomarkers are important regulators in women, especially during pregnancy
and childbirth. Because of their essential role in women's health, the discovery and …

Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) is an invasive surgery for achieving the spermatozoa in
cases with azoospermia. In these patients, the number of retrieved spermatozoa is limited …

Spermatozoa transition to functional maturity as they are conveyed through the epididymis, a
highly specialized region of the male excurrent duct system. Owing to their transcriptionally …
