Molecular basis of human sperm capacitation
In the early 1950s, Austin and Chang independently described the changes that are
required for the sperm to fertilize oocytes in vivo. These changes were originally grouped …

Capacitation increases glucose consumption in murine sperm
Mammalian sperm acquire fertilization capacity in the female reproductive tract in a process
known as capacitation. During capacitation, sperm change their motility pattern (ie …

Conserved mechanism of bicarbonate-induced sensitization of CatSper channels in human and mouse sperm
To fertilize an egg, mammalian sperm must undergo capacitation in the female genital tract.
A key contributor to capacitation is the calcium (Ca2+) channel CatSper, which is activated …
