In assisted reproductive technology (ART), the aim of sperm cells' preparation is to select
competent spermatozoa with the highest fertilization potential and in this context, the …

BACKGROUND ICSI is currently the most commonly used assisted reproductive technology,
accounting for 70–80% of the cycles performed. This extensive use, even excessive, is partly …

Almost 50% of the infertility cases are due to male factors. Assisted reproductive
technologies (ARTs) allow to overcome the incapacity of these patients' spermatozoa to …

Background Infertile men have higher levels of semen reactive oxygen species (ROS) than
fertile men. High levels of semen ROS can cause sperm dysfunction, sperm DNA damage …

Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) utilize sperm sorting methods to select viable
sperm from the semen samples. Conventional sperm sorting techniques in current use are …

Sperm selection in the female reproductive tract (FRT) is sophisticated. Only about 1,000
sperm out of millions in an ejaculate reach the fallopian tube and thus have a chance of …

Male infertility often involves idiopathic or unknown causes, leading to an increasing
demand for assisted reproduction technologies (ART). Conventional sperm sorting …

BACKGROUND Current routine semen preparation techniques do not inclusively target all
intrinsic sperm characteristics that may impact the fertilization potential. In order to address …

On the one hand, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are mandatory mediators for essential
cellular functions including the function of germ cells (oocytes and spermatozoa) and …

For assisted reproduction technologies (ART), numerous techniques were developed to
isolate spermatozoa capable of fertilizing oocytes. While early methodologies only focused …
