Research project investigating the impact of temperature on meiotic chromosome structures in male infertility, focusing on the synaptonemal complex and its role in spermatogenesis heat sensitivity.
Description
This project aims to understand how temperature affects genome integrity in spermatocytes and identify the molecular mechanisms underlying temperature-associated infertility and cancer risk in male reproductive health.
