mDia1/3 generate cortical F-actin meshwork in Sertoli cells that is continuous with contractile F-actin bundles and indispensable for spermatogenesis and male fertility
Human adult spermatogenesis involves a balance of spermatogonial stem cell self renewal and differentiation, alongside complex germline-niche interactions. To better understand, we performed single ce
Sertoli cells, which are the only somatic cells in the seminiferous tubules, facilitate the maintenance of testicular immune privilege through the formation of the blood-testis barrier (BTB) and the e
Purpose: Kinesin-14 KIFC1 proteins are highly expressed in testes and function in male spermatogenesis, especially acrosome biogenesis. However, the mechanisms of KIFC1 during acrosomal vesicles trans
Many young adults are in a state of stress due to social and psychological pressures, which may result in male reproductive dysfunction. To provide new insight into this phenomenon, we investigated th
BackgroundThe RNase III endonuclease Dicer is an important regulator of gene expression that processes microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The best-characterized function of miRNAs
