Drawing a fine line on endogenous retroelement activity
Didier Trono, Marc Samuel Friedli
Endogenous retroelements (EREs) are essential motors of evolution yet require careful control to prevent genomic catastrophes, notably during the vulnerable phases of epigenetic reprogramming that occur immediately after fertilization and in germ cells. Ac ...
Landes Bioscience2015Developmental and hormonal regulation of the monocarboxylate transporter 2 (MCT2) expression in the mouse germ cells
Pierre Magistretti, Luc Pellerin
During spermatogenesis, postmeiotic germ cells utilize lactate produced by Sertoli cells as an energy metabolite. While the hormonal regulation of lactate production in Sertoli cells has been relatively well established, the transport of this energy substr ...
2003Probing spermatogenesis in Drosophila with P-element enhancer detectors
Formation of motile sperm in Drosophila melanogaster requires the coordination of processes such as stem cell division, mitotic and meiotic control and structural reorganization of a cell. Proper execution of spermatogenesis entails the differentiation of ...
