Assisted Oocyte Activation following Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection: A Sensible Option for Infertile Couples with Severe Teratozoospermia [PDF]
International Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2023 The intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has significantly improved male factor infertility treatment; however, complete fertilization failure still occurs in 1-5% of ICSI treatment cycles mainly due to oocyte activation failure.

ACTN4 Mediates SEPT14 Mutation-Induced Sperm Head Defects
Biomedicines, 2020 Septins (SEPTs) are highly conserved GTP-binding proteins and the fourth component of the cytoskeleton. Polymerized SEPTs participate in the modulation of various cellular processes, such as cytokinesis, cell polarity, and membrane dynamics, through ...

miR-508-5p and mir-510-5p expressions and their relationships with spermatozoa motility and morphology [PDF]
Journal of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, 2020 Background and aims:miRNAs have regulatory functions in developmental processes. The stages of spermatogenesis can also be affected by miRNAs. We tried to detect a relationship between the expression of miR-508-5p and miR-510-5p and male infertility. The
