DOI: 10.1002/advs.201900712
Abstract: Abstract Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a popular form of in vitro fertilization, where single sperm are selected by a clinician and injected into an egg. Whereas clinicians employ general morphology‐based guidelines to select the healthiest‐looking… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8514
Abstract: Abstract Sperm cells exhibit extraordinary phenotypic variation, both among taxa and within individual species, yet our understanding of the adaptive value of sperm trait variation across multiple contexts is incomplete. For species without the opportunity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/em.22530
Abstract: In March 2020, the Italian government imposed a national lockdown which was almost completely removed in June 2020. Due to the abrupt stop of human activities, emissions of air pollutants decreased. Air pollution is an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mrd.23432
Abstract: In mammals, sperm need to mature in the epididymis to gain fertilization competency. However, the molecular mechanism underlying buffalo sperm maturation remains elusive. Exploring sperm physiology at the posttranslational modification (PTM) level could help to… read more here.
