Research question Telomeres are non-coding, repetitive DNA sequences (TTAGGG
repeats) that play an important role in maintaining genome integrity. Unlike in somatic cells …

Purpose The present study aimed to evaluate whether combining the magnetic-activated
cell sorting (MACS) with density-gradient (DG) or swim-up (SU) sperm separation …

There are several known causes of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in a couple, which
include endocrine abnormalities, immunologic abnormalities, structural uterine …

Background Telomeres are essential for the integrity of chromosome ends during cell
division and their involvement in different processes linked to aging has been established …

Over the last decades, selection in cattle has mainly been based on milk production rather
than on reproductive efficiency. While, when applied, focus on reproduction has involved …

The enzyme telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is essential for telomere maintenance.
In replicating cells, maintenance of telomere length is important for the preservation of vital …

Background Many studies have demonstrated that lifestyle factors can affect sperm quality
and fertility. Sperm telomere length (STL) has been reported as potential biomarker or sperm …

The ends of eukaryotic chromosomes contain specialized chromatin structures called
telomeres, the length of which plays a key role in early human embryonic development …

Objective To study whether the telomere structure of germ cells from idiopathic infertile men
is altered and if this impairment is influenced by meiotic recombination and telomere length …

Correlations were reported between sperm telomere length (STL) and male fertility, sperm
DNA fragmentation, and oxidation. Sperm freezing is widely used for assisted reproductive …
