Chemotaxis is probably a short-range mechanism because of peristaltic movements of the oviduct, which may prevent the formation of a long-range chemoattractant gradient. Following the observations that, at ovulation, a temperature difference of 1-2°C is established within the ov…
This atlas provides ultrastructural morphological images of human spermatozoa. Sperm morphology plays an essential role in sperm-oocyte interactions and early embryonic development, and human sperm ultrastructural morphology offers a valuable reference tool for assessing certain…
Spermatozoa: facts and perspectives
Spermatozoa, the haploid male gametes, are highly specialized cells capable to fertilize eggs in order to produce diploid zygote. The biogenesis of spermatozoa requires finely modulated occurrence of mitotic, meiotic, and differentiation events. Hence, the production of high-qua…
"This practical handbook covers the procedures that are undertaken in andrology and ART laboratories to analyze and assess male-factor subfertility, and to prepare spermatozoa for use in assisted conception therapy. Each section includes a brief, authoritative overview of the re…

Annotation "Drawing on the experiences of parents, offspring and donors and including her own and her family's story, this thought-provoking and informative book explores the process of donor conception. From finding out about an infertility problem, to considering whether - and…
Considerable progress has been made in mammalian species since the advent of <i>in vitro</i> sperm-egg interaction systems. Although <i>in vitro </i>systems for studying sperm-egg interaction in chickens have been developed, they have not been characterised and are limited by th…
Mammalian spermatozoa have complex structures. The structure-function relationship of sperm has been studied from various viewpoints. Accumulated evidence has shown that the sperm components undergo sequential changes from the beginning of spermatogenesis to the time of fertiliz…
