Achilles’ heel of male infertility: good LEGO players
摘要
In a recent journal article, Chen et al. identified a germ cell-specific cofactor, STYXL1, associated with male fertility function. Deletion of STYXL1 prevents the LEGO player CCT complex from properly folding key microtubule proteins of the sperm flagellum, which affects sperm motility and male fertility function.
