Controlled ovarian stimulation in cancer patients under 18 years old; a case series by Azar Yahyaei, Mahdieh Moridi, Firouzeh Ghaffari

“…The oocyte cryopreservation was carried out in the 7 patients (five patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, one patient with Ewing sarcoma, and one patient with osteogenic tumor), the embryo cryopreservation in one patient with dysgerminoma, and the oocyte and embryo cryopreservation in one patient with germ cell tumor. No oocytes were retrieved after ovarian stimulation in the patient with medulloblastoma. …”

Rbp4-Gal4, a germline driver that activates in meiosis, reveals functions for VCP in spermatid development by Tyler J. Butsch, Alyssa E. Johnson, K. Adam Bohnert

“…Available germline-specific Gal4 drivers activate in stem cells or spermatogonia; consequently, knocking down VCP using one of these drivers disrupts or blocks early germ-cell development, precluding analysis of VCP in later stages. …”

Occurrence of testicular microlithiasis in androgen insensitive hypogonadal mice by De Gendt Karl, Verhoeven Guido, Monteiro Ana, O'Shaughnessy Peter J, Abel Margaret H

“…In humans, testicular microlithiasis (TM) has an unknown etiology but may be significantly associated with testicular germ cell tumors. Factors inducing microlith development may also, therefore, act as susceptibility factors for malignant testicular conditions. …”

Restoration of spermatogenesis and male fertility using an androgen receptor transgene. by William H Walker, Evan Easton, Rebecca S Moreci, Corey Toocheck, Prashanth Anamthathmakula, Pancharatnam Jeyasuria

“…The six founder mice were mated into a Sertoli cell specific AR knockout (SCARKO) background in which spermatogenesis is blocked at the meiosis stage of germ cell development. The AR-EGFP transgene was expressed in a cyclical manner similar to that of endogenous AR in Sertoli cells and fertility was restored as offspring were produced in the absence of Sertoli cell AR. …”
