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

Sperm DNA contributes half the offspring's genomic material and abnormal DNA can lead to
derangements in the reproductive process. Normal sperm genetic material is required for …

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 …

Selection of high‐quality sperm is crucial to assisted reproduction. However, conventional
clinical methods for sperm selection are manual and prone to operator errors. This article …

Purpose To know which sperm selection technique, physiological intracytoplasmic sperm
injection (PICSI) or magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS), is better for the selection of …

This study was carried out to evaluate the level of nuclear sperm DNA damage in men with
isolated polymorphic teratozoospermia and examining its relationship with apoptosis and …

Spermatozoa retrieved from the testis of men with high levels of sperm DNA fragmentation
(SDF) in the neat semen tend to have better DNA quality. Given the negative impact of SDF …

Oxidative stress (OS) is an imbalance between the amount of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) produced and the ability of the antioxidants to scavenge these. OS has been …

Significance: Currently 10%–15% of couples in reproductive age face infertility issues. More
importantly, male factor contributes to 50% of these cases (either alone or in combination …

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 …
