Biological Processes that Prepare Mammalian Spermatozoa to Interact with an Egg and Fertilize It

Cremonesi Andreu

The process of mammalian fertilization involves a series of intricate biological processes that prepare spermatozoa to interact with an egg and achieve successful fertilization. This article provides an overview of the key biological mechanisms involved in this process, including sperm maturation, capacitation, the acrosome reaction, and spermegg recognition. Understanding these processes is crucial for gaining insights into reproductive biology, fertility, and potential targets for contraception or infertility treatments. This knowledge can also contribute to advancements in assisted reproductive technologies. Further research into these processes will deepen our understanding of mammalian reproduction and may lead to improved reproductive health outcomes.
