Sperm design and sperm function.
Spermatozoa vary enormously in their form and dimensions, both between and within species, yet how this variation translates into fertilizing efficiency is not known. Sperm swimming velocity is a key determinant of male fertilization success, but previous efforts to identity which sperm phenotypic traits are associated with swimming velocity have been unsuccessful. Here, we examine the relation...
متن کاملSperm-Mediated Transgenerational Inheritance
Spermatozoa of virtually all species can spontaneously take up exogenous DNA or RNA molecules and internalize them into nuclei. In this article I review evidence for a key role of a reverse transcriptase (RT) activity, encoded by LINE-1 retrotransposons, in the fate of the internalized nucleic acid molecules and their implication in transgenerational inheritance. LINE-1-derived RT, present in s...
متن کاملSperm-mediated gene transfer.
Since 1989, a new method for the production of transgenic animals has been available, namely sperm-mediated gene transfer (SMGT), based on the intrinsic ability of sperm cells to bind and internalise exogenous DNA molecules and to transfer them into the oocyte at fertilisation. We first described the SMGT procedure in a small animal model, with high efficiency reported in the mouse. In addition...
متن کاملGamete evolution and sperm numbers: sperm competition versus sperm limitation.
Both gamete competition and gamete limitation can generate anisogamy from ancestral isogamy, and both sperm competition (SC) and sperm limitation (SL) can increase sperm numbers. Here, we compare the marginal benefits due to these two components at any given population level of sperm production using the risk and intensity models in sperm economics. We show quite generally for the intensity mod...
متن کاملAssessing sperm function.
This article reviews basic semen tests and new fertility tests that are providing great insights to the rapidly developing understanding of male infertility. Finally, promising new tests under development are mentioned with their potential clinical applications.
