Asymmetrically Positioned Flagellar Control Units Regulate Human Sperm Rotation
Summary: Ion channels control sperm navigation within the female reproductive tract and, thus, are critical for their ability to find and fertilize an egg. The flagellar calcium channel CatSper controls sperm hyperactivated motility and is dependent on an alkaline cytoplasmic pH. The latter is accom...
