A recent report from the University of Pennsylvania highlights the importance of intercellular bridges (ICBs) in spermatogenesis, the process of sperm cell development. The study found that a protein called ARF6 plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of ICBs in mice. When ARF6 was depleted, the mice experienced a loss of germ cells and ultimately became sterile. This research suggests that ARF6 is essential for spermatogenesis in mice and may have similar functions in other organisms. [Extracted from the article]
