This study shows testicular hyperthermia rapidly reduces piRNA levels and increases LINE1 activity in male germ cells, leading to DNA damage and potential infertility.

This study compares CDC2-like kinases across eukaryotes, showing their evolutionary conservation, thermo-sensitive properties, and role in alternative splicing regulation.

The paper establishes oviductal organoids from five domestic animal species to advance assisted reproductive technologies.

The paper identifies a distinct transcriptional programme in pregranulosa cells before primordial follicle activation using single-cell RNA sequencing in mice.

The paper identifies sialylation changes in mouse sperm during capacitation, showing that sialylation of ACO2 inhibits its activity, potentially driving the metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis.
