A multi-year NIH-funded research project by Weill Medical College of Cornell University studying sperm metabolism and energy regulation during capacitation to understand fertilization processes.
Description
This project aims to understand how sperm regulate metabolic pathways and utilize nutrients during maturation, focusing on the role of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in these processes. It involves metabolite profiling and flux analyses to study energy regulation during sperm capacitation.
