According to some statistics, absolute asthenozoospermia affects every 1 in 5000 men.
Although this incidence rate does not appear to be too high, it is extremely important to …

Purpose Magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) eliminates apoptotic spermatozoa based on
the presence of externalized phosphatidylserine residues. We evaluated the outcome of …

Couples with unexplained infertility (UI) tend to have low fertilization rates using current in
vitro fertilization procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether elimination of …

Purpose As fertilization with unselected apoptotic spermatozoa may contribute to failures in
assisted reproductive techniques, it has become essential to remove this type of sperm in …

Genetic and biochemical sperm integrity is essential to ensure the reproductive competence.
However, spermatogenesis involves physiological changes that could endanger sperm …

Sperm chromatin integrity may affect the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology
(ART). Developing a clinically reliable strategy to enrich sperm samples with high chromatin …

A single, rapid and reproducible diagnostic test to predict the type of azoospermia and
outcome of sperm retrieval is not yet available. So the feasibility of employing DNA flow …

Recent studies have evaluated the use of magnetic‐activated cell sorting (MACS) to reduce
apoptotic spermatozoa and improve sperm quality. However, the efficiency of using MACS …

Selection of spermatozoa before their use for assisted reproductive techniques is an
important step in therapy of human infertility. The DNA fragmentation index of sperm plays a …

Purpose: DNA fragmentation in spermatozoa has been associated with poor semen quality,
low fertilization rates, impaired preimplantation development, and high miscarriage rates …
