Background Externalization of phosphatidylserine (EPS) occurs in apoptotic-like spermatozoa and could be used to remove them from sperm preparations to enhance sperm quality for assisted medical procreation.

Travelling waves are hydrodynamically optimal for long-wavelength flagella [PDF]
Swimming eukaryotic microorganisms such as spermatozoa, algae and ciliates self-propel in viscous fluids using travelling wave-like deformations of slender appendages called flagella. Waves are predominant because Purcell's scallop theorem precludes time-reversible kinematics for locomotion.

To fuse with oocytes, spermatozoa of eutherian mammals must pass through extracellular coats, the cumulus cell layer, and the zona pellucida (ZP). It is generally believed that the acrosome reaction (AR) of spermatozoa, essential for zona penetration and

Surface accumulation of spermatozoa: a fluid dynamic phenomenon [PDF]
Recent mathematical fluid dynamics models have shed light into an outstanding problem in reproductive biology: why do spermatozoa cells show a 'preference' for swimming near to surfaces? In this paper we review quantitative approaches to the problem, originating with the classic paper of Lord Rothschild in 1963. A recent 'boundary integral/slender body

CD5 expression by human ejaculated spermatozoa
Background A complex of effector and predominant regulatory immune responses are induced in the female reproductive tract (FRT) due to insemination that is necessary to achieve pregnancy.

Cauda epididymal spermatozoa could be used as an alternative source of gamete in the application of various reproductive technologies, since the spermatozoa is motile and has ability for fertilizing the oocyte.

Expression of TEX101, regulated by ACE, is essential for the production of fertile mouse spermatozoa
Formation of spermatozoa of normal shape, number, and motility is insufficient for the male siring of pups. The spermatozoa must be accompanied by sound fertilizing ability.

Hydrodynamic Impedance Correction for Reduced-Order Modeling and Real-Time Control of Spermatozoa-Like Soft Micro-Robots for Medicine [PDF]
Hydrodynamic interactions play a key role in the swimming behavior and power consumption of bio-inspired and bio-mimetic micro-swimmers, Cybernetic or artificial alike. As micro-robotic devices, bio-inspired micro-swimmers require fast and reliable numerical models for robust control in order to carry out demanding therapeutic tasks as envisaged for ...

High spatially sensitive quantitative phase imaging assisted with deep neural network for classification of human spermatozoa under stressed condition [PDF]
Sperm cell motility and morphology observed under the bright field microscopy are the only criteria for selecting particular sperm cell during Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Several factors such as, oxidative stress, cryopreservation, heat, smoking and alcohol consumption, are negatively ...
