In mammals, the timing of meiosis differs greatly between males and females (Figure 2). Male germ cells, or spermatogonia, do not enter meiosis until after puberty. Even then, only limited numbers ...

In male germ cell, sperm formation follows the completion of meiosis, with multiple gene regulatory programs. However, the mechanisms governing meiotic progression and the specific transcription ...

Our findings demonstrate that proper regulation of meiosis requires cell connectivity and establish a new framework for how we think about its control in the male germline." The findings add to ...

Meiosis, as described above, is the process by which certain sex cells are created. If you're male, your body uses meiosis to create sperm cells; if you're female, it uses meiosis to create egg cells.

Different epigenetic changes occur at different times in meiosis depending on whether the germ cells are male or female. The dashed lines represent lower levels of specific modifications than ...

Currently, we are focused on two main projects: 1) Identification of components required for the differential regulation of TOP-2 in male and female meiosis. Type II DNA topoisomerases (Topo II) are ...

The process of meiosis happens in the male and female reproductive organs. As a cell divides to form gametes: ...

The dividing cell shown here is a male's sperm cell. With meiosis in a female, most of the cell's cytoplasm will be concentrated in one of the two emerging cells, which will result in one large ...
