Motility-dependent selective transport of active matter in trap arrays: Separation methods based on trapping-detrapping and deterministic lateral displacement [PDF]
Nanoscale 17, 13434 - 13446 (2025)Selecting active matter based on its motility represents a challenging task, as it requires different approaches than common separation techniques intended for separation based on, e.g., size, shape, density, and flexibility. This motility-based selection is important for, e.g., selecting biological species, such as bacteria or highly motile sperm ...

Emergent three-dimensional sperm motility: Coupling calcium dynamics and preferred curvature in a Kirchhoff rod model [PDF]
Mathematical Medicine and Biology: A Journal of the IMA, dqy015,
16 October 2018, 2018 Changes in calcium concentration along the sperm flagellum regulate sperm motility and hyperactivation, characterized by an increased flagellar bend amplitude and beat asymmetry, enabling the sperm to reach and penetrate the ovum (egg). The signaling pathways by which calcium increases within the flagellum are well established.

Sperm Detection and Tracking in Phase-Contrast Microscopy Image Sequences using Deep Learning and Modified CSR-DCF [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Nowadays, computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) systems have made a big leap in extracting the characteristics of spermatozoa for studies or measuring human fertility. The first step in sperm characteristics analysis is sperm detection in the frames of the video sample. In this article, we used RetinaNet, a deep fully convolutional neural network as the

Selecting active matter according to motility in an acoustofluidic setup: Self-propelled particles and sperm cells [PDF]
Soft Matter 19, 8635-8648 (2023)Active systems -- including sperm cells, living organisms like bacteria, fish, birds, or active soft matter systems like synthetic ''microswimmers'' -- are characterized by motility, i.e., the ability to propel using their own ''engine''. Motility is the key feature that distinguishes active systems from passive or externally driven systems. In a large

Effects of L-carnitine and L-acetyl-carnitine on testicular sperm motility and chromatin quality [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Reproductive Medicine, 2012 Background: Sperm cells extracted from testes (TESE) have poor chromatin quality and motility. Various substances are used in the laboratory to increase sperm motility and improve the ART outcomes; however, there are few research which considered ...

Low Sperm Motility Is Determined by Abnormal Protein Modification during Epididymal Maturation
The World Journal of Men's Health, 2022 Purpose:Purpose: During epididymal sperm maturation, spermatozoa acquire progressive motility through dynamic protein modifica-tions. However, the relationship between sequential protein modifications during epididymal sperm maturation and sperm motility
