Analysis of sperm beating characteristics using microfluidic trapping and machine-learning-based flagellum tracking.

Lab on a chip
Male infertility affects a significant portion of couples worldwide, with standard semen analysis often failing to identify functional deficiencies in sperm performance. This study presents a microfluidic platform for characterizing sperm flagellar b...

Structures of sperm flagellar doublet microtubules expand the genetic spectrum of male infertility.

Cell
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...

Sperm Tail Defects and Abnormal Testicular Blood Flow in a Beagle Dog: A Case Report.

Topics in companion animal medicine
A 5-year-old male Beagle dog produced ejaculates with a high percentage of spermatozoa with abnormal morphology, especially sperm tail defects. Although libido and semen volume were normal, ejaculates showed asthenospermia, oligozoospermia, and terat...
