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 …

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 …

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 …

An appropriate preparation technique, should be capable of isolating highquality
spermatozoa for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The aim was to assess sperm …

Background Obtaining functional sperm cells is the first step to treat infertility. With the ever‐
increasing trend in male infertility, clinicians require access to effective solutions that are …

The objective of this work was to elucidate whether a sperm selection method that combines
rheotaxis and microfluidics can improve the selection of spermatozoa over density gradient …

Collective swimming is evident in the sperm of several mammalian species. In bull (Bos
taurus) sperm, high viscoelasticity of the surrounding fluid induces the sperm to form …

The female reproductive tract simultaneously guides and selects high-quality sperm using
rheotaxis in mammalian species. Sperm quality, however, is traditionally evaluated only by …

Artificial insemination (AI) is the single most important assisted reproductive technique
devised to facilitate the genetic improvement of livestock. In the swine industry, it has broadly …
