Discovering mechanisms during spermatogonial differentiation that prepare male germ cells for meiosis
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-05)Spermatogenesis, the male germ cell maturation process, allows men to become and remain fertile for decades. Male fertility relies on fate decisions of different types of spermatogonia – spermatogonial stem cells maintain ... -
Drosophila Oocytes as a Model for Understanding Meiosis: An Educational Primer to Accompany “Corolla Is a Novel Protein That Contributes to the Architecture of the Synaptonemal Complex of Drosophila”
(2015-01)Achieving a thorough understanding of the events and ramifications of meiosis is a common learning objective for undergraduate introductory biology, genetics, and cell biology courses. Meiosis is also one of the most ... -
A germline-specific isoform of eIF4E (IFE-1) is required for efficient translation of stored mRNAs and maturation of both oocytes and sperm
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-15)Fertility and embryonic viability are measures of efficient germ cell growth and development. During oogenesis and spermatogenesis, new proteins are required for both mitotic expansion and differentiation. Qualitative and ... -
INVESTIGATING MECHANISMS REGULATING MAMMALIAN SPERMATOGONIAL DIFFERENTIATION AND MEIOTIC INITIATION
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-27)Spermatogonia differentiation and meiotic initiation are complex processes essential for male fertility. Despite knowing for nearly 60 years that retinoic acid (RA) is instrumental for successful production of functional ... -
