Radiological patterns of incidental epididymitis in mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients revealed by colour Doppler ultrasound

Felipe Carneiro et al.

Summary: The study investigated testicular involvement in mild-to-moderate COVID-19 men and found that some men had epididymitis, with over half displaying epididymal head enlargement. The use of color Doppler ultrasound, even in the absence of symptoms, may help diagnose epididymitis early, potentially leading to fertility complications.

Clinical implications of sperm DNA damage in IVF and ICSI: updated systematic review and meta-analysis

Jordi Ribas-Maynou et al.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on IVF and ICSI treatments revealed a significant negative impact of sperm DNA damage on implantation and pregnancy rates. Routine sperm DNA testing is justified to improve IVF outcomes and assist in treatment selection for couples. Further studies are needed to draw more precise conclusions, especially in the context of ICSI treatments.

Administration of Antioxidants in Infertile Male: When it may have a Detrimental Effect?

Fotios Dimitriadis et al.

Summary: Although antioxidants have emerged as a promising solution for male infertility induced by oxidative stress, the excessive use of these compounds may be harmful. Further elaborate studies are needed in the future to explore the effects of antioxidants on semen parameters and fertility potential.

Stability of the cytosine methylome during post-testicular sperm maturation in mouse

Carolina Galan et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the cytosine methylation patterns of mammalian sperm remain stable during post-testicular maturation, with potential contamination by epididymal cell-free DNA affecting the study of sperm epigenome.

Aging and oxidative stress alter DNA repair mechanisms in male germ cells of superoxide dismutase-1 null mice

Paulina Nguyen-Powanda et al.

Summary: The efficiency of antioxidant defense system decreases with aging, resulting in high levels of reactive oxygen species and DNA damage in spermatozoa. This study found that aging and removal of SOD1 (superoxide dismutase-1) lead to increased lipid peroxidation and DNA damage in germ cells.

Paternal MTHFR deficiency leads to hypomethylation of young retrotransposons and reproductive decline across two successive generations

Gurbet Karahan et al.

Summary: Research has shown that MTHFR deficiency has minimal effects on sperm counts and testis morphology in F1 fathers, but leads to further deterioration in reproductive parameters in F2 generation sons. Extensive loss of DNA methylation is observed in both F1 and F2 sperm, with >80% of sites shared between generations, indicating consistent susceptibility to MTHFR deficiency. This suggests that the hypomethylation of retrotransposons in F1 males' sperm may contribute to the worsening reproductive phenotype observed in F2 MTHFR-deficient males, supporting the intergenerational passage of epimutations.

Whole-genome sequencing of H3K4me3 and DNA methylation in human sperm reveals regions of overlap linked to fertility and development

Romain Lambrot et al.

Summary: The study reveals the presence of H3K4me3 in sperm, which is distributed throughout the genome and found at genes related to fertility and development. Additionally, enrichment of H3K4me3 is observed at regions that escape epigenetic reprogramming and overlap with DNA methylation, suggesting a potential interplay between these marks in sperm. Comparisons with the embryonic transcriptome indicate an influence of paternal chromatin on embryonic gene expression.

Oral Antioxidant Treatment of Men Significantly Improves the Reproductive Outcome of IVF Cycles

Paola Scaruffi et al.

Summary: Oral antioxidant supplementation can improve reproductive competence in men with low fertilization rates in previous ICSI cycles by increasing sperm concentration and total motile sperm count, and improving embryological outcomes. This treatment may contribute to better clinical outcomes for ICSI cycles.

Thoughts on the popularity of ICSI

Mounia Haddad et al.

Summary: ICSI is the most widely used assisted reproductive technique globally, with applications in male and non-male factor infertility, though its use in the latter is more controversial.Future advancements in reproductive biology may further incorporate ICSI into techniques such as in vitro spermatogenesis and heritable genome editing.
