Acupuncture is an important component of complementary and alternative medicine, which has been found to help improve sperm motility, improve semen quality, and ultimately enhance male fertility. However, its role and potential molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood. In this study, we a...
Although piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play pivotal roles in spermatogenesis, little is known about piRNAs in the seminal plasma of infertile males. In this study, we systematically investigated the profiles of seminal plasma piRNAs in infertile males to identify piRNAs that are altered during infe...
Aberrant DNA methylation profiles have been associated with male infertility and some semen parameters. However, few studies systematically surveyed DNA methylation profiles associated with sperm motility in normozoospermia and asthenozoospermia. In this study, based on promoter targeted bisulfite s...
