Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has become the most commonly used method of
fertilization in assisted reproductive technology. The primary reasons for its popularity stem …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated at low levels during mitochondrial respiration
have key roles in several signaling pathways. Oxidative stress (OS) arises when the …

STUDY QUESTION Does microfluidic sorting improve the selection of sperm with lower DNA
fragmentation over standard density-gradient centrifugation? SUMMARY ANSWER …

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 …

Objective To evaluate whether microfluidic sperm sorters (MFSSs) allow effective recovery of
sorted motile sperm without DNA damage compared with the centrifugation and swim-up …

Here, we propose a fully-automated platform using a spiral inertial microfluidic device for
standardized semen preparation that can process patient-derived semen samples with …

Biohybrid micromotors are active microscopic agents consisting of biological and synthetic
components that are being developed as novel tools for biomedical applications. By …

The application of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has revolutionised the
treatment of human infertility, giving hope to the patients previously considered incapable of …

Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in
oocyte donation cycles and correlate it with the sperm parameters, the male characteristics …

This paper discusses the variety of effective sperm selection techniques that have been
developed for use in assisted reproductive technologies. Available methods for isolating the …
