Expression of RSPH6A in the first wave of rat spermatogenesis and oxidative stress conditions: Attenuation by melatonin
Summary
This study found that the sperm flagellar protein RSPH6A is expressed during the first wave of spermatogenesis in rats and plays a role in sperm motility and male fertility onset. The results raise the possibility of using RSPH6A as a biomarker for fertility assessment.
All combined data confirm that RSPH6A contributes to the onset of fertility by acting on sperm motility, raising the possibility of using RSPH6A as a marker for normal fertility in the general population.

New Insight on the In Vitro Effects of Melatonin in Preserving Human Sperm Quality
Researchers found that melatonin protects human sperm quality against cadmium-induced oxidative stress in vitro, preserving motility, viability, DNA integrity, and mitochondrial function while reducing lipid peroxidation over 24 hours of exposure.
Melatonin alleviates oxidative stress damage in mouse testes induced by bisphenol A
Researchers investigated whether melatonin could alleviate oxidative stress damage caused by bisphenol A (BPA) exposure in mouse testicular tissue. The study found that melatonin treatment reduced BPA-induced oxidative damage and improved sperm quality indicators, suggesting a potential protective role against the reproductive effects of this common plastic-associated chemical.
Transcriptome-wide m6A profiling reveals mRNA post-transcriptional modification of boar sperm during cryopreservation
Researchers mapped chemical modifications (m6A tags) on messenger RNA in boar sperm during freeze preservation for the first time, finding these epigenetic marks are linked to sperm motility and cell survival — offering new insight into why sperm quality declines during cryopreservation.
Feedback Regulation of sPLA2-COX/5-LOX-Ca2+ in Seminal Plasma and Its Impact on Sperm Quality Parameters
Researchers investigated feedback regulation of the sPLA2-COX/5-LOX-Ca2+ pathway in seminal plasma and its impact on sperm quality parameters. The study found that arachidonic acid metabolism in seminal plasma strongly influences sperm quality, with the PL-AA-COX1 model proposed as a sperm quality predictor and AA/COX1 supplementation shown to protect sperm under heat stress.
Editorial: Mammalian spermatogenesis: genetic and environmental factors
This editorial introduces a research collection on mammalian spermatogenesis, examining both genetic and non-genetic environmental factors that can disrupt the tightly regulated process from spermatogonial proliferation through spermatozoa maturation and lead to male infertility.
