About Spermatogenesis

Spermatogenesis is a new quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that will publish high-quality articles covering all aspects of spermatogenesis from C. elegans, D. melanogaster and mammals (both rodents and humans). 

Why a new journal?

Many important molecules, signaling pathways and mechanisms crucial to mammalian spermatogenesis were initially identified in the worm (C. elegans) and fly (D. melanogaster).  The goal of Spermatogenesis is to bring these three realms of research together.  The diversity of the editorial board signifies the journal's aim to facilitate the flow of information in this rapidly growing field. 

Topics

Spermatogenesis welcomes papers from investigators studying C. elegans, D. melanogaster or mammals to study: differentiation of gonocytes to spermatogonia; the biology of spermatogonial stem cells; mechanisms regulating self-renewal of spermatogonia via mitosis and the differentiation of type A spermatogonia into type B spermatogonia; regulation of germ cell cycle progression and meiosis; the role of cyclins, protein kinases (e.g., mitogen activated protein kinases) and other molecules in cell cycle progression and meiosis; cell biology and molecular biology of meiosis; the biology and regulation of spermiogenesis and spermiation; blood-testis barrier function; and Sertoli-germ cell interactions. 

Additional topics/themes and how they affect or relate to spermatogenesis include but are not limited to: cell polarity, cell metabolism, transcription and post-transcriptional regulation, mouse genetic models, epigenetics, proteomics, genomics, bioinformatics, evolution, the effects of environmental toxicants and smoking, Sertoli cells and transplantation biology, hormones and the impact of puberty and diseases.

Editorial policies

Spermatogenesis will publish original Research Articles, Addenda and Reviews from experts in the field, Views, Commentaries and Opinion articles on specific research topics, Methods/Technologies used to study different aspects of spermatogenesis, Trends that deserve attention and Meeting Reports
