Recent Advances in Reproductive Technologies
Never before have there been so many medical intervention options available to infertile couples seeking to become parents. These options are possible largely due to the research in animal reproduction which started several decades ago with the widespread use of artificial insemination in farm animals. This was followed by the advent of in vitro embryo

A microfluidic method for passive trapping of sperms in microstructures [PDF]
Sperm motility is a prerequisite for male fertility. Enhancing the concentration of motile sperms in assisted reproductive technologies - for human and animal reproduction - is typically achieved through aggressive methods such as centrifugation. Here we propose a passive technique for the amplification of motile sperm concentration, with no externally

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Biopower, Disability and Capitalism: Neoliberal Eugenics and the Future of ART Regulation [PDF]
Discourse around reproductive and contraceptive technology in the United States is typically organized around ideas of autonomy, privacy, and free choice. The dichotomy of “pro-choice” and “pro-life” structures all debates on the topic, and the political

Bioethics of Assisted Reproductive Technology
There is no doubt that for a couple who are having difficulties in conceiving, having a child is an objective good. However, it is also indisputable that assisted reproduction techniques raise clear ethical issues. In order to begin this bioethical reflection, it should be clearly established that the early embryo, which can be manipulated or destroyed

Signal propagation and spark mitigation in resistive strips read-outs [PDF]
MicroPattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD) made of resistive strips have raised as a promising technology for the protection against spark processes having place in the gaseous chamber. The reproduction of the signals and its propagation through the resistive foil is mandatory to better understand its behavior and optimize the key parameters which might ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

Genetic counseling prior to assisted reproductive technology
Background Reproductive medicine deals with fertility and is closely related to heredity. In reproductive medicine, it is necessary to provide genetic information for the patients prior to assisted reproductive technology (ART).
