Paternal contributions: New functional insights for spermatozoal RNA
7 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Whereas the presence of RNA in mature ejaculate spermatozoa is now established, its functional significance, if any, is still a matter of debate. This reflects the accepted description that spermatozoa are highly differentiated, specialized cells of minimal cytoplasm and compacted nucleus that are transcriptionally inactive. A significant proportion of the RNA required for the later, haploid stages of terminal...
