Early in fetal development, a mass of cells known as the bipotential gonad has the possibility of giving rise either to ovaries or testes, reproductive organs that contribute to many of the ...

Researchers have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of lncRNAs in the testes than had ...

Researchers have created lab-grown testicle organoids that closely resemble the real thing. The breakthrough provides a promising model for research that may advance our understanding of the organs' ...

Impact of HSF5 Deficiency on Growth and Sperm Formation of Testis (IMAGE) Kumamoto University Caption Deletion of hsf5 in mice results in the impaired development of testis (left), and the absence of ...

Deletion of hsf5 in mice results in the impaired development of testis (left), and the absence of spermatids and spermatozoa (right), which leads to the failure of sperm formation. Kumamoto University ...
