The Small Non-Coding RNA Profile of Human and Mouse Sperm.
Yap YS, Patrizio P, Cimmino L, Sdrimas K, Telonis AG. Yap YS, et al. Noncoding RNA. 2025 Feb 9;11(1):15. doi: 10.3390/ncrna11010015. Noncoding RNA. 2025. PMID: 39997615 Free PMC article. Review.
Small non-coding RNAs constitute a dynamic epigenetic layer in mature spermatozoa that can exert transgenerational regulatory functions. Here, we review recent advances in the field of small RNAs in spermatozoa, how their profiles change in response to lifestyle or environ …

Smooth muscle: a stiff sculptor of epithelial shapes.
Jaslove JM, Nelson CM. Jaslove JM, et al. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2018 Sep 24;373(1759):20170318. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2017.0318. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2018. PMID: 30249770 Free PMC article. Review.
Smooth muscle is a mesenchymal tissue that surrounds the epithelia of organs including the gut, blood vessels, lungs, bladder, ureter, uterus, oviduct and epididymis. Smooth muscle is stiffer than its adjacent epithelium and often serves its morphogenetic function by physi …

Epididymosomes: transfer of fertility-modulating proteins to the sperm surface.
Martin-DeLeon PA. Martin-DeLeon PA. Asian J Androl. 2015 Sep-Oct;17(5):720-5. doi: 10.4103/1008-682X.155538. Asian J Androl. 2015. PMID: 26112481 Free PMC article. Review.
While the nonvesicular fraction is more efficient, both pathways are dependent on hydrophobic interactions between the GPI-anchor and the external lipid layer of the sperm surface. More recently proteomic and hypothesis-driven studies have shown that EP from several mammal …
