This letter is in response to an artide written byMichail Nomikos,Karl Swann and F.Anthony Lai in the Research Highlights section of the Asian Journal of Andrology (AJA).The artide is entitled,“Is PAWP the ‘real\' sperm factor?” and was written in response to our article entitled,“Sperm-derived WW domain-binding protein,PAWP,elicits calcium oscillations and oocyte activation in human and mouse,”published recently in FASEB J.1 According to the Science Editor of AJA,“Research Highlight” pieces are brief articles that are meant to report on publications from the primary literature.Mong those lines,we were delighted to read an insightful comment on our FASEB article prepared for AJA by Dr.George L Gerton.In stark contrast,we found that the article by Nomikos et al.

Dear Editor,rnCongenital idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CIHH)is a rare congenital disorder characterized by delayed or absent sexual maturation and infertility associated with inappropriately low gonadotropin and sex steroid levels.We report a
Actin polymerization and development of hyperactivated (HA) motility are two processes that take place during sperm capacitation.Actin polymerization occurs during capacitation and prior to the acrosome reaction,fast F-actin breakdown takes place.The incr
Elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is the primary indication for prostate biopsy for detection of prostate cancer (PCa) in the modern era.The detection rate of PCa from biopsy is typically below 30％,especially among patients with PSA lev
PProstate cancer (PCa) remains a prindpal cause of mortality in developed countries.Because no clinical interventions overcome resistance to androgen ablation therapy,management of castration resistance and metastatic disease remains largely untreatable.M
Mammalian embryo development is initiated by intracellular Ca2+ oscillations that result in oocyte activation following gamete membrane fusion.It is widely believed that oocyte Ca2+ oscillations are triggered by a sperm-specific protein,phospholipase C-ze
Around 20％-30％ of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) still havehigh-risk PCa disease (HRPC) that requires aggressive treatment.Treatment of HRPC is controversial, and multimodality therapy combining surgery, radiation therapy, and androgen depr

In many cases of prostate cancer, changes of prostate volume were measured veryfrequently after castration by means of transrectal ultrasound.For short-term observations, a factor called as “reduction time (tau [τ]),” which means the time required for the
