  "summary": "Mammalian spermatozoa face various challenges during their long march to the destination. As a specialized membrane-bound organelle in the sperm head, the acrosome is particularly sensitive to changes in ionic and osmotic conditions, yet how acrosomal ion homeostasis is maintained remains largely unknown. Here, we show that LRRC37A is required for acrosomal ion homeostasis. Loss of Lrrc37a causes…",
