Multiple RNA pathways are required to produce functional sperm. Here, we review RNA post-
transcriptional regulation during spermatogenesis with particular emphasis on the role of …

Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) can threaten human health, especially male fertility.
However, most existing studies have focused on the adulthood stage of male reproduction …

Abstract Development of the ovary or testis is required to establish reproductive
competence. Gonad development relies on key cell fate decisions that occur early in …

Objectives RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) play essential post‐transcriptional roles in
regulating spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) maintenance and differentiation. We identified …

Dead End (DND1) is an RNA-binding protein essential for germline development through its
role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. The molecular mechanisms behind selection …

Sex determination is crucial for the transmission of genetic information through generations.
In mammal, this process is primarily regulated by an antagonistic network of sex-related …

STUDY QUESTION Is the vertebrate protein Dead end (DND1) a causative factor for human
infertility and can novel in vivo assays in zebrafish help in evaluating this? SUMMARY …

Background: Germ cells are critical for the survival of our species. They are the only cells
that undergo meiosis–the reductive form of cell division that is necessary for genetic …

Spontaneous testicular teratomas (STTs) are tumours comprising a diverse array of cell and
tissue types, which are derived from pluripotent stem-like cells called embryonal carcinoma …

In vertebrates, the RNA-binding protein (RBP) dead end 1 (DND1) is essential for primordial
germ cell (PGC) survival and maintenance of cell identity. In multiple species, Dnd1 loss or …
