The role of molecular chaperones in spermatogenesis and the post-testicular maturation of mammalian spermatozoa
20 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spermatogenesis culminates in production of one of the most highly differentiated cells in biology, the spermatozoon. The gametes that emerge from the testes are, however, functionally immature and only acquire full functionality once they have completed a process of post-testicular maturation in the epididymis and female reproductive tract. Remarkably, this acquisition of sperm function occurs while...
