Research Article: Antioxidant Nanoparticles Restore Cisplatin-Induced Male Fertility Defects by Promoting MDC-bp-Associated Non-Homologous DNA Repair Mechanism and Sperm Intracellular Calcium Influx
Introduction:
Steadily spermatogenesis relies on functional testis; however, successful fertility requires motile sperm with the ability to bind to the zona pellucida (ZP) of the oocyte. , Both processes involve the temporal and spatial coordination between various proteins and ion channels on the sperm membrane surface to drive calcium influx at specific sperm regions. – For sperm motility, calcium channels, such as the cation channel of sperm (CatSper), allow calcium influx into the sperm tail and drive the subsequent…
