The aim of this study was to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the biological differences of X- and Y-sperm and to screen the sex-specific candidate antigen proteins for sexed semen productio
Sperm isolated from WT mice and PITHD1-deficient mice in triplicate were lysed in 6 M guanidine-HCl containing 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, and 2 mM DTT. The lysates were dissolved by heating and sonicati
LRRC23 is required for stablizing the sperm axonemal structure. Mass spectrometry analysis was carried out to compare the proteome of Lrrc23 WT and KO sperm.
In response to the reduction in fitness associated with sperm competition, males are expected to evolve tactics that hinder female remating. For example, females often display a post-mating reduction
The current global outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly impacted several organ systems. Male reproductive organs are among the potential targets of SARS-CoV-2 infection owing to the presence of abu
