This study identifies two Spag6 genes in mice and shows their distinct roles in sperm formation and male fertility, with SPAG6 being critical for fertility despite normal phenotype in single knockout mice.

This study shows that maternal extracellular vesicles from COVID-19 pregnancies alter trophoblast function, contributing to placental dysfunction.

This study identifies Spag17 as a key modulator of female reproductive aging, showing its role in maintaining fertility and preventing age-related complications.

This study generates human fetal zone adrenal cortex-like cells from induced pluripotent stem cells, revealing key signaling pathways and transcription factors involved in adrenocortical specification and steroidogenesis.

This study shows that maternal biological age estimated in early pregnancy predicts gestational age at birth, with effects mainly driven by self-identified African American participants.

This study identifies DNA methylation loci in umbilical cord blood associated with gestational age at birth and links them to inflammation and innate immunity pathways.
