Infertility is a global health problem involving about 15% of couples. Approximately half of
the infertility cases are related to male factors. The oxidative stress, which refers to an …

Male and female germ lines are vulnerable to oxidative stress. In spermatozoa, such stress
triggers a lipid peroxidation cascade that culminates in the generation of electrophilic lipid …

Mild photothermal therapy (PTT), as a new anticancer therapeutic strategy, faces big
challenges of limited therapeutic accuracy and side‐effects due to uneven heat distribution …

The process of spermatogenesis is temperature-dependent and occurs optimally at
temperatures slightly lower than that of the body. Adequate thermoregulation is imperative to …

BACKGROUND Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic process of degrading and recycling
proteins and organelles to modulate various physiological and pathological events …

Microplastics are widely distributed, such as oceans, rivers and the atmosphere, with many
opportunities for human exposure and potential health risks. Polystyrene microplastic (PS …

Spermatogenesis is a complex process in the testis and is a cornerstone of male infertility.
The abundance of unsaturated fatty acid and high cell division rate make male germs cells …

Protein quality control (proteostasis) depends on constant protein degradation and
resynthesis, and is essential for proper homeostasis in systems from single cells to whole …

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that plays a crucial role in maintaining a
series of cellular functions. It has been found that autophagy is closely involved in the …

Infection and inflammation are relevant entities of male reproductive disorders that can lead
to sub-/infertility. Associated damage of the testis of affected men and in rodent models …
