BACKGROUND It has long been thought that the factors affecting embryo and foetal
development were exclusively maternally derived; hence, if issues regarding fertility and …

In mammalian females, after sperm are deposited in the reproductive tract, a fraction of
sperm migrates to the lower oviduct (isthmus) and forms a sperm storage site known as the …

Spermatozoon represents a very special cell type in human body, and glycosylation plays

The contribution of sperm to embryogenesis is gaining attention with up to 50% of infertility
cases being attributed to a paternal factor. The traditional methods used in assisted …

Mammalian sperm are deposited in the vagina or the cervix/uterus at coitus or at artificial
insemination, and the fertilizing sperm move through the female reproductive tract to the …

Sperm storage by females after mating for species-dependent periods is used widely among
animals with internal fertilization to allow asynchrony between mating and ovulation. Many …
