Fuel for the Finish Line: How Sperm Reach ‘Overdrive’ and What It Means for Fertility and Contraception
New Insights into Sperm Metabolism Researchers at Michigan State University, in collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Van Andel Institute, have identified the metabolic switch that propels sperm from a low-energy state to a rapid, mission-focused sprint toward fertilization. This discovery sheds light on the specialized energy strategies sperm use to reach…

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…
