ACTL7A Expression and Functional Characteristics of Sperm in Infertile Men: A Comparison Between High and Low DNA Damage Groups, A Cross Sectional Study

Background: Male infertility accounts for nearly half of all infertility cases, worldwide, and is frequently associated with molecular abnormalities that cannot be detected by routine semen analysis. Actin-like protein 7A (ACTL7A), a testis-specific actin-related protein essential for spermatogenesis, acrosome integrit...

Changes in seminal plasma metabolites and the vital role of tyrosol in men with asthenozoospermia.

Tyrosol notably enhanced sperm performance, suggesting its potential integration into clinical strategies for AZS management and fertility preservation and the dysregulation of the metabolite tyrosol, which is associated with AZS.

Epigenetic role of miR-574 in sperm chromatin remodeling and developmental gene networks in male infertility.

CONTEXT The epigenetic factors underlying varicocele and idiopathic infertility are still poorly understood, despite established pathophysiological mechanisms. AIMS This study assessed sperm miR-574 expression in infertile males with or without varicocele and fertile controls, evaluating its relationship with semen p...

ZIP6 and ZIP14 zinc transporter expression in normozoospermic and asthenozoospermic human spermatozoa - relationship to nuclear chromatin accessibility

Introduction/Objective. Male infertility accounts for approximately 40% of infertility cases, with asthenozoospermia affecting nearly one in five infertile men. Beyond conventional semen parameters, nuclear DNA organization and chromatin accessibility provide deeper insight into sperm quality. Zinc transporters ZIP6 an...

Ballelic Variants of TTC-Related Genes Cause Asthenoteratozoospermia With Favorable Clinical Outcomes After ICSI.

BACKGROUND Male infertility is a complex, multifactorial disorder that affects ∼7% of men worldwide. Variants in DNAH and CFAP genes are well-established causes of asthenoteratozoospermia, but the contribution of TTC-family genes (TTC12, TTC21A, TTC29) to sperm dysfunction and ICSI outcome remains poorly documented....
