Reproductive aging is a natural process conserved across species and is well-known in females.It shows age-related follicle depletion and reduction of oocyte quality,eventually causing reproductive senescence and meno...
Chinese researchers pinpoint an RNA-binding protein called FXR1 to be the key to wake up the dormant mRNAs required for late sperm maturation in mice,which may shed light on how to reverse male infertility in humans.
