Sperm Inspection for In Vitro Fertilization via Self-Assembled Microdroplet Formation and Quantitative Phase Microscopy

open access: yesCells, 2021
We present a new method for the selection of individual sperm cells using a microfluidic device that automatically traps each cell in a separate microdroplet that then individually self-assembles with other microdroplets, permitting the controlled ...

Generation of Haploid Spermatids with Fertilization and Development Capacity from Human Spermatogonial Stem Cells of Cryptorchid Patients

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2014
Generation of functional spermatids from azoospermia patients is of unusual significance in the treatment of male infertility. Here, we report an efficient approach to obtain human functional spermatids from cryptorchid patients.

Inhibition of extracellular ice crystals growth for testing the cryodamaging effect of intracellular ice in a model of ram sperm ultra-rapid freezing

open access: yesJournal of Applied Animal Research, 2023
We aimed to test the common belief, that as the sperm cell is the smallest cell in an organism and, therefore, it contains a small amount of intracellular water, the intracellular ice should not strongly affect the sperm cell during the cryopreservation.

The Effect of Oxidative Stress and Dietary Vitamin E Supplementation on Fresh Sperm Quality of Ross 308 Broiler Breeder Roosters [PDF]

open access: yesپژوهشهای علوم دامی ایران, 2023
Introduction[1]:  Oxidative stress is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants at the cellular level which leads to the condition of infertility in male.

The Death of Sperm Cells

open access: yesActa Medica Bulgarica, 2023
Abstract A major factor affecting male fertility is excessive death of germ cells, both immature germ cells and mature spermatozoa. It can be due to various factors causing testicular and/or post-testicular damage, such as infections, obstructive conditions, toxins, oxidative stress, hormonal imbalance, hyperthermia, and anti-sperm ...

Global status of research on fertility preservation in male patients with cancer: A bibliometric and visual analysis

open access: yesHeliyon
Background: Recently, male fertility preservation before cancer treatment has become more prevalent. The research in this field has progressed over time, with some studies having a major impact and providing guidance for further research.

Putative cis-regulatory elements in genes highly expressed in rice sperm cells

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2011
Background The male germ line in flowering plants is initiated within developing pollen grains via asymmetric division. The smaller cell then becomes totally encased within a much larger vegetative cell, forming a unique "cell within a cell structure ...

Not all sperm are equal: functional mitochondria characterize a subpopulation of human sperm with better fertilization potential. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Human sperm samples are very heterogeneous and include a low amount of truly functional gametes. Distinct strategies have been developed to characterize and isolate this specific subpopulation.

Effect of macrophages in semen on sperm quality

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2021
Background This was a cross-sectional study in China which analyzed the levels of macrophages (Mφ) in semen and evaluated the influence of Mφ levels in semen on sperm quality. Methods The subjects involves 78 males, 25- to 35-year old.

Characterization of eight novel proteins with male germ cell-specific expression in mouse

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008
Background Spermatogenesis and fertilization are highly unique processes. Discovery and characterization of germ cell-specific genes are important for the understanding of these reproductive processes.
