ABSTRACT Background Low parental education is associated with poorer offspring health, but its influence on male fecundity remains unclear. Objective To study the association between parental educational attainment at birth and biomarkers of male fecundity in young men and to explore whether this association is mediated by maternal smoking in pregnancy

Impact of Sorting and Catch Media on Porcine Sperm Motility, Capacitation, and Viability
ABSTRACT Background Fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) has emerged as a powerful tool for selecting spermatozoa of a desired population of fluorescent biomarkers, offering potential applications in reproductive biology and agriculture. However, concerns remain regarding sorting‐induced physiological alterations that could compromise spermatozoa

Semen Cryopreservation in Testicular Cancer: Before or After Orchidectomy?
ABSTRACT Background Fertility preservation in patients with testicular cancer remains a clinical priority, yet the optimal timing for sperm cryopreservation—before or after orchidectomy—remains a matter of debate. Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the optimal timing for semen cryopreservation and the best‐quality sample for ART.
