Sperm Metabolism Breakthrough Could Transform Infertility Treatments
Overview: A Molecular Switch Powers Sperm’s Final Sprint Researchers at Michigan State University have identified a molecular “switch” that ramps up sperm energy just before fertilization. This discovery sheds light on how sperm metabolize glucose and other fuels to enable the rapid, high-energy movement needed to reach and fertilize an egg. The work, conducted in…

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…
