DOI: 10.1002/mrd.23396
Abstract: We isolated the transmembrane and coiled‐coil domains 2 (Tmco2) gene using a polymerase chain reaction‐based subtraction technique. Tmco2 is predominantly expressed in rat testes starting from 4 weeks of age. Rat TMCO2 consists of 187… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.toxlet.2019.04.013
Abstract: The increased number of cell divisions undergone by spermatogonia of older fathers cannot fully account for the observed increase in germline genetic damage. Studies have shown that the mechanisms induced in germ cells in response… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-49378-5
Abstract: Sperm cryopreservation is an important tool for storing genetic traits and assisted reproduction techniques. Several studies have developed semen cryopreservation protocols. However, the sperm proteome is different between ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa and little is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/and.14367
Abstract: The reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in various aspects of male reproductive function, for spermatozoa to acquire the ability to fertilize. However, the increase in ROS generation, both due to internal and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2019.00346
Abstract: Spermatozoa undergo their last phase of spermiogenesis, known as maturation, as they pass through the epididymis. A recent report indicates that mouse immature spermatozoa retrieved from the caput epididymis for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) give… read more here.
