Motile sperm cell separation is important in sample preparation for both artificial
insemination and cryopreservation of semen. A novel microfluidic device consisting of an …

Sperm processing for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) aims to separate immotile
and debris from the motile spermatozoa in the semen. The purpose of this study was to …

Purpose Selection of appropriate sperm is considered as a decision making point in the ICSI
procedure. Canonically, sperm selection is based on morphology and motility. Recent …

Cryopreservation is a technique used to preserve cells for long-time storage. It is widely
used in agriculture to store male gametes in liquid nitrogen. The aim of this study was to …

Magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) with annexin V microbeads recognizes externalized
phosphatidylserine (PS) residues on the surface of apoptotic spermatozoa. The successful …

Background: Semen ejaculates contain heterogeneous sperm populations that can
jeopardize male fertility. Recent development of nanotechnology in physiological systems …

Clinical outcome in assisted reproduction techniques (ARTs) is mainly influenced by the
quality of gametes used. It is known that a high percentage of sperm DNA fragmentation …

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 …

Objective This study was carried out to investigate the correlations of the sperm DNA
fragmentation index (DFI) with semen parameters and apoptosis, and to investigate the …

Magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) can be used to separate apoptotic sperm with high
proportions of fragmented DNA from the rest, thus improving the overall quality of the …
