. 2023 Jul;
33(14):3048-3055.e6.
PMID: 37453427
Fertilization is a fundamental process in sexual reproduction during which gametes fuse to combine their genetic material and start the next generation in their life cycle. Fertilization involves species-specific recognition,...

PMID: 37453426
Identified through forward genetics, spe-9 was the first gene to be identified in C. elegans as necessary for fertilization. Since then, genetic screens in C. elegans have led to the...

. 2018 Jul;
8(9):3005-3018.
PMID: 30012668
Egg activation is essential for the successful transition from a mature oocyte to a developmentally competent egg. It consists of a series of events including the resumption and completion of...

. 2018 Feb;
436(2):75-83.
PMID: 29477340
Successful fertilization requires that sperm are activated prior to contacting an oocyte. In C. elegans, this activation process, called spermiogenesis, transforms round immobile spermatids into motile, fertilization-competent spermatozoa. We describe...

PMID: 27695649
Genetic approaches in are complementing the biochemical and antibody based strategies traditionally used to study the molecular underpinnings of fertilization in other organisms. A pair of worm studies, one based...

. 2016 Mar;
83(5):376-86.
PMID: 26970099
The details of sperm-egg interactions remain a relative mystery despite many decades of research. As new molecular complexities are being discovered, we need to revise the framework in which we...
