Microfluidics offers tremendous opportunities to understand the underlying biology of
fertilization at the single-cell level and improve infertility management, however, its true …

Sperm selection is an essential component of all assisted reproductive treatments (ARTs)
and is by far the most neglected step in the ART workflow in regard to technological …

Rheotaxis, as one of the main natural guidance mechanisms in vivo, has been used in
microfluidics to separate motile sperm. However, the lack of DNA integrity assessment and …

Microfluidic systems have been extensively studied in recent years as potential alternatives
for problematic conventional methods of sperm selection. However, despite the widespread …

Active systems–including sperm cells, living organisms like bacteria, fish, birds, or active soft
matter systems like synthetic “microswimmers”–are characterized by motility, ie, the ability to …

Complex rheological properties of the female reproductive tract serve as a long-range
guidance mechanism for sperm. However, conventional microscopy methods and …

To understand the impact of sperm speed as they swim against the flow on fertilization rates,
we created conditions similar to the female reproductive tract (FRT) on a microfluidic …

The viscoelastic properties of the female reproductive tract influence sperm swimming
behavior, but the exact role of these rheological changes in regulating sperm energetics …

Male infertility is a major global concern and is defined by an ejaculate that's function is
hindered by insufficient sperm counts and/or low-quality sperm that obscure fertilization …

Sperm Selection is an essential component of all Assisted Reproductive Treatments (ART),
and is by far and large the most neglected step in the ART workflow when it comes to …
