The inhibition of sperm cAMP and ATP levels, using an FDA-approved medication, may impair sperm motility and, consequently, fertilization, thus paving the way for the development of a male contraceptive. The objective of this study was to define the ...
Varicocele is a prevalent condition in the infertile male population. However, to date, which patients may benefit most from varicocele repair is still a matter of debate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether certain preintervention sper...
Many lifestyle factors, such as nutritional imbalance leading to obesity, metabolic disorders, and nutritional deficiency, have been identified as potential risk factors for male infertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship bet...
RESEARCH QUESTION: Can artificial intelligence identify predictors of an increased Day 5 blastocyst utilization rate (D5BUR), which is one of the most informative key performance indicators in an IVF laboratory?
Sperm motility is crucial for successful fertilization. Highly decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) form the sperm tail skeleton, which propels the movement of spermatozoa. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and artificial intelligence (AI)-ba...
The giant gourami sago strain ( Lacepède) has been approved in 2018 as a candidate for freshwater aquaculture in Indonesia. However, information on the species' reproduction is minimal. This study analyzed the reproductive characteristics of the go...
Infertility rates and the number of couples seeking fertility care have increased worldwide over the past few decades. Over 2.5 million cycles of assisted reproductive technologies are being performed globally every year, but the success rate has rem...
