Sperm selection before intracytoplasmic sperm injection
Current Trends in Clinical Embriology, 2015 In assisted reproduction techniques (ART), the success of embryo development depends mostly on the quality of gametes, and pregnancy outcome is strictly related to both the oocyte and the fertilizing sperm quality. Therefore, during ART, it is mandatory to select a mature and viable sperm with high DNA integrity. Routine sperm preparation and selection

Evolution of protamine genes and changes in sperm head phenotype in rodents [PDF]
, 2016 Little is known about the genetic basis of evolutionary changes in sperm phenotype. Postcopulatory sexual selection is associated with differences in protamine gene sequences and promoters and is a powerful force acting on sperm form and function ...

Sexual selection of protamine 1 in mammals [PDF]
, 2015 Protamines have a crucial role in male fertility. They are involved in sperm chromatin packaging and influence the shape of the sperm head and, hence, are important for sperm performance.

Maintenance of sperm variation in a highly promiscuous wild bird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Postcopulatory sexual selection is an important force in the evolution of reproductive traits, including sperm morphology. In birds, sperm morphology is known to be highly heritable and largely condition-independent.

Viscous Cervical Environment-on-a-Chip for Selecting High-Quality Sperm from Human Semen
Biomedicines, 2021 When ejaculated sperm travels through the vagina to the uterus, mucus secreted by the cervical canal generally filters out sperm having low motility and poor morphology.

Positive selection in the adhesion domain of Mus sperm Adam genes through gene duplications and function-driven gene complex formations [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Sperm and testes-expressed Adam genes have been shown to undergo bouts of positive selection in mammals. Despite the pervasiveness of positive selection signals, it is unclear what has driven such selective bouts.

Frequency of Sperm DNA Fragmentation According to Selection Method: Comparison and Relevance of a Microfluidic Device and a Swim-up Procedure [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015 Introduction: Multiple rounds of centrifugation or washing spermatozoa can cause sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF); however, a microfluidic approach to select spermatozoa does not require centrifugation.

Sperm morphology and DNA fragmentation after zona pellucida selection
Reproduction and Fertility, 2021 Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) and sperm morphological defects can negatively affect ART outcomes. Consequently, there is a need for additional semen processing technique that accounts for sperm DNA status and morphology prior to ICSI.
