Spermatozoa produced in the testes are initially incapable of fertilising an oocyte. To acquire this capacity, they undergo capacitation within the female reproductive tract, a complex process ...
Fertilization is the union of two cells: an egg and a sperm. Before the egg and the sperm fuse, an event known as the "acrosome reaction" needs to occur in the sperm. Now, a team from Osaka University ...

Ferlins are a family of single transmembrane proteins with multiple calcium ion (Ca2+) binding C2 domains involved in Ca2+-mediated membrane fusion. Among other processes, ferlins participate in the ...
The physiological importance of CD151 tetraspanin is known from somatic cells and its outside-in signalling through integrins was described. In male germ cells, two tetraspanins, CD9 and CD81, are ...
