Male mice exposed to PFAS (an environmental contaminant) have reduced sperm production but normal sperm viability & motility. Embryos created by IVF with PFAS-treated sperm have disrupted transcriptomes suggesting possible transgenerational effects.

🚨 New Resource for Reproductive Researchers! 🧪🔬

Are you exploring sperm biology, male infertility, or contraceptive development?

📢 We’ve just released a comprehensive step-by-step guide (preprint) to generate and analyse human sperm phosphoproteomes; a crucial but underexplored area.

Working with germ-free mice with the Kambayashi Lab we saw a 'swollen' epididymal phenotype occurring, so we took a closer look doi.org/10.1530/REP-...
A lack of commensal microbiota influences the male reproductive tract intergenerationally in mice
The microbiome encompasses the array of microorganisms inhabiting various niches in the body and is necessary for numerous physiological processes, including normal metabolism and a functioning immune...

Happy to have contributed to this led by the Nixon lab. We helped show temperarure can alter sperm small RNAs which modulate postfertiilzation embryonic gene expression and development in 🐁
