    New Insights Into Sperm Metabolism Could Transform Infertility Treatments

    Groundbreaking Discovery Links Sperm Metabolism to Fertilization Researchers at Michigan State University have pinpointed a molecular “switch” that ramps up sperm energy production just before the final sprint to fertilize an egg. The finding, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, holds promise for reshaping infertility treatments and could pave the way…

    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…
