Timing of semen cryopreservation: before or after processing? [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia
Objective: Seminal cryopreservation causes significant damage to the sperm; therefore, different methods of cryopreservation have been studied. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of density gradient processing and washing/centrifugation with

Elimination of bacteria from semen using a combination of density gradient centrifugation and swim-up

Journal of Men's Health, 2022
Background: To evaluate the efficiency of bacterial clearance of different sperm preparation procedure. Methods: A total of 46 semen samples were collected in this study, each semen sample was divided into four equal parts (0.5 mL each).

Swim‐up method is superior to density gradient centrifugation for preserving sperm DNA integrity during sperm processing

Reproductive Medicine and Biology
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effects of swim‐up and density gradient centrifugation methods on sperm DNA fragmentation. Methods Nineteen normozoospermic patient samples with ≥100 × 106 motile sperms were included in this study.

Purification of Pox Viruses by Density Gradient Centrifugation [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1962
SUMMARY: Rabbit pox virus grown in tissue culture cells and vaccinia virus grown on rabbit skin have been purified as follows. The virus was sedimented and washed once by centrifugation to provide a tenfold virus concentrate. This semi-purified material was layered on top of a sucrose density gradient and centrifuged to produce a zone of virus ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Fractionating microplastics by density gradient centrifugation: a novel approach using LuerLock syringes in a low-cost density gradient maker

Chemistry Teacher International
Microplastics are now ubiquitous in the environment and are even considered “technofossils” of the Anthropocene. Given their omnipresence and potential impact, identifying and analyzing these particles becomes increasingly crucial.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
