  • Title: The axoneme: the propulsive engine of spermatozoa and cilia and associated ciliopathies leading to infertility.
    Author: Linck RW, Chemes H, Albertini DF.
    Journal: J Assist Reprod Genet; 2016 Feb; 33(2):141-56. PubMed ID: 26825807.
    Abstract:
    This review article provides a critical analysis of the structure and molecular mechanisms of the microtubule axoneme of cilia and sperm flagella and their associated elements required for male fertility.A broad range of genetic and molecular defects (ciliopathies) are considered in the context of human diseases involving impaired motility in cilia and sperm flagella, providing provocative thought for future research in the area of male infertility.
