Key Takeaways
- Michigan State researchers identified the calcium signaling pathway that triggers sperm hyperactivation for fertilization
- Blocking this molecular switch disables sperm's ability to fertilize without affecting hormones or long-term fertility
- Unlike hormonal approaches, this non-hormonal method could potentially be taken on demand with minimal side effects
