The fundamental underlying paradigm of sexual reproduction is the production of male and
female gametes of sufficient genetic difference and quality that, following syngamy, they …

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

Telomeres are repeated DNA sequences whose main function is to preserve genome
stability, protecting chromosomes ends from shortening caused by progressive loss during …

Telomere length (TL) has long been associated with aging, as telomeres serve as protective
caps of chromosomes, and are thus deeply involved in the preservation of genome integrity …

The evaluation of male (in) fertility is commonly based on standard semen analysis, which,
however, cannot clearly distinguish fertile from infertile populations and fails to detect any …

Background Telomeres have an essential role in maintaining the integrity and stability of the
human chromosomal genome and preserving essential DNA biological functions. Several …

Telomeres are repeating DNA found at the ends of chromosomes that, in the absence of
restorative processes, shorten with cell replications and are implicated as a cause of …

In brief Oxidative stress is recognized as an underlying driving factor of both telomere
dysfunction and human subfertility/infertility. This review briefly reassesses telomere integrity …

Recent studies have reported shorter sperm telomere length (STL) in men with idiopathic
infertility. The aim of this study was to measure STL in semen samples from men to evaluate …

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