Abstract The 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction
assay is one of the methods used to evaluate the viability of sperm. In the assay, a …

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the most frequently applied method for fertilization
making the process of identifying the perfect spermatozoon fundamental. Herein we offer a …

By employing external fertilization (broadcast spawning) as a mating strategy, the gametes
and subsequent fertilization of various marine invertebrates are directly subjected to …

Background: The extensive use of different nanoparticles has raised great concerns about
their occupational and biological safety. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

Germline de novo mutations (DNMs) refer to spontaneous mutations arising during
