Abstract: As the taste receptor for monosodium glutamate (umami) is expressed in both murine and human spermatozoa and the presence of α-gustducin and α-transducin, G proteins involved in the umami taste signaling, has been described in… read more here.

Abstract: Studies of gamete development in the self-fertile hermaphrodites of Caenorhabditis elegans have significantly contributed to our understanding of fundamental developmental mechanisms. However, evolutionary transitions from outcrossing males and females to self-fertile hermaphrodites have convergently evolved… read more here.

Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress are problematic in infertile couples because of impaired sperm function and embryo development. ROS can decrease the success rate of IVF treatment. Lycopene is a carotenoid with a… read more here.

Abstract: Fertilization is a complex process that requires successive stages and culminates in the adhesion/fusion of gamete membranes. If the question of the involvement of oocyte integrins has been swept away by deletion experiments, that of… read more here.
