Fuel for the Finish Line: How Sperm Achieve ‘Overdrive’
Overview: A Molecular Switch Powers the Final Sprint Michigan State University scientists have pinpointed the molecular switch that supercharges sperm for their final sprint to an egg. The discovery sheds light on how sperm shift from a resting, low-energy state to high-speed, high-energy power, a transformation essential for fertilization. The research holds promise for advancing…
