Interestingly, the expression of both human GALNTL5 and mouse Galntl5 genes is restricted to the testis. In situ hybridization confirmed that GALNTL5 mRNA is expressed mainly in the round and elongated spermatids during spermiogenesis after meiosis, not in the outermost cells of the seminiferous ...
During which process are gametes (sperm and egg) produced? (a) Mitosis (b) Budding (c) Binary Fission (d) Meiosis. What is the term for the non-reproductive cells found in embryos and mature individuals? a. gametes b. somatic cells c. zygotes d. none of the above ...

The cell cycle is the sequence of events that occur from when a new cell arises until it divides into two daughter cells. There are two major phases called interphase and M-phase. Interphase is the longer phase, lasting up to years in some types of differentiated cells. It is the time d...
Elevated temperatures induce activation of the heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) which in somatic cells leads to heat shock proteins synthesis and cytoprotection. However, in the male germ cells (spermatocytes) caspase-3 dependent apoptosis is induced upon HSF1 activation and spermatogenic cells...

All cells must control these pathways in order to maintain levels within physiological boundaries. Excessive amounts of cholesterol in cells can destroy membrane function, precipitate as crystals which will kill the cell or result in atherosclerotic damage if spread to blood[1]. However, the ...
Compare and contrast the understanding of cells over time and culture. Describe a situation in which an object gains the same amount of gravitational potential energy when two different paths are taken to the same point. Explain ...
Notably, abnormal cytoskeleton appears in epididymis of Plcz1m3 mice and Plcz1−/− cells. Cytoskeleton damage of epididymis is involved in fertility decline of males upon Plcz1 deficiency in this model. Keywords: Plcz1; CRISPR–Cas9; cytoskeleton damage; sperm quality; fertilisation; RNA ...
