Fertility & Reproduction, 2023 Background and Aims: Embryo aneuploidy is caused by many factors, including patient age, sperm quality and sperm selection method. There are several methods for selecting sperm, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and IMSI (intracytoplasmic ...

No evidence for pre-copulatory sexual selection on sperm length in a passerine bird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 There is growing evidence that post-copulatory sexual selection, mediated by sperm competition, influences the evolution of sperm phenotypes. Evidence for pre-copulatory sexual selection effects on sperm traits, on the other hand, is rather scarce.

The birth of a healthy child in a married couple with a history of multiple unsuccessful attempts at ART by selecting sperm on oocyte-cumulus complexes. Case report [PDF]
Гинекология, 2023 In male infertility, couples must use assisted reproductive technologies with the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) technique. A significant disadvantage of ICSI is bypassing natural selection barriers since selective processes in the female ...

Novel distance-progesterone-combined selection approach improves human sperm quality
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018 Background Sperm selection is essential for the health of offspring conceived via assistive reproductive technology (ART). Various methods of sperm preparation for in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection have been developed to acquire

Rheotaxis-based sperm separation using a biomimicry microfluidic device
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sperm selection is crucial to assisted reproduction, influencing the success rate of the treatment cycle and offspring health. However, in the current clinical sperm selection practices, bypassing almost all the natural selection barriers is a major ...

Conventional Magnification Suffices for High-quality Sperm Selection When Embryologist Experience Is Optimized: A Comparison with MSOME [PDF]
Journal of Genetic ResourcesThe ability to choose the appropriate sperm is essential to enhance the assisted reproductive technologies results. This study evaluated the performance of five embryologists in selecting sperm using conventional magnifications.
