Testicular cancer is one of the leading malignancies affecting young men, with germ cell tumors (GCTs) being the most prevalent type. These tumors are classified into two main subtypes: seminomas and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs), with the latter known for their higher likelihood of metastasis. Early detection through imaging and tumor markers like alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is crucial for favorable outcomes.

Background: Germ cell tumours (GCT) are the most common malignancy affecting young adult men. The introduction of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in recent decades has significantly changed the prognosis of these malignant tumours into highly curable cancer, even in the setting of advanced disease. However, in the last decade, the success of these chemotherapy regimens in curing GCTs has been slowed by a growing recognition of their important late toxicities, such as cardiovascular disease.

Osteoglossomorpha, the bony tongue fishes, show great variation in morphology, behavioural strategies, reproductive biology and gamete ultrastructure. The order Osteoglossiformes is the only vertebrate taxon, in which four types of sperm (monoflagellate, biflagellate and aflagellate aquasperm and the complex introsperm) have been described. It is also the only vertebrate lineage in which aflagellate spermatozoa exist.
