1/n - Did you know developing #sperm cells are interconnected by cytoplasmic bridges until released from the testis? Just check out this awesome electron #microscopy 🔬image (by the late Don Fawcett) of two neighboring sperm cells. Note the arrow connecting them 🧐 
2/n- An intriguing property of these bridges is that the proteins that form them are also involved in the regulation of meiotic chromsomes 🤔 Topoisomerase 2 is a recently identified example 👇academic.oup.com/biolreprod/art…
3/3 - This suggests there's something more to these bridges than just being channels between neighboring cells... If you are curious about these intriguing structures stay tuned 📻 for future developments 🤓
