Contribution of epididymal epithelial cell functions to sperm epigenetic changes and the health of progeny

29 Jul 2021

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Spermatozoa acquire their motility and fertilizing abilities during their maturation through the epididymis. This process is controlled by epididymal epithelial cells that possess features adapted to sense and respond to their surrounding environment and to communicate with spermatozoa. During the past decade, new intercellular communication processes have been discovered, including the secretion and...
