Sperm Selection Using Micro Swim‐Up: Improvement of Chromatin Integrity Compared to Density Gradient Centrifugation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Selecting high‐quality spermatozoa with optimal nuclear integrity is a crucial step in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). While density gradient centrifugation (DGC) is widely used, the associated centrifugation steps may induce cell stress, potentially damaging sperm DNA.

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...
