Efficient propulsion has been a central focus of research in the field of biomimetic underwater vehicles. Compared to the prevalent fish-like reciprocating flapping propulsion mode, the sperm-like helical propulsion mode features higher efficiency an...
Since its introduction in animal andrology, flow cytometry (FC) has dramatically evolved. Nowadays, many compartments and functions of the spermatozoa can be analyzed in thousands of spermatozoa, including, but not limited to DNA, acrosome, membrane ...
BACKGROUND: Boar semen quality emphasizes three major criteria: sperm concentration, motility, and morphology. Methods to analyze concentration and motility quickly and objectively readily exist, but few exist for analyzing morphology outside of subj...

PURPOSE: Identification of mature sperm at microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) is a crucial step of sperm retrieval to help patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) proceed to intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Touch print smear...
To enhance surgical testicular sperm retrieval outcome for men with nonobstructive azoospermia, a deep-learning model was developed to identify positive seminiferous tubules by labeling 110 images with sperm-containing tubules sampled during microdis...
Objective assessment of sperm morphology is an essential component for assessing ejaculate quality. Due to economic limitations, investigators often divert to conducting observational studies instead of experimental ones, which provide the strongest ...

BACKGROUND: Deep learning has been increasingly investigated for assisting clinical in vitro fertilization (IVF). The first technical step in many tasks is to visually detect and locate sperm, oocytes, and embryos in images. For clinical deployment o...
In this , we present an overview of the current and emerging methods and technologies for optimizing the man and the sperm sample for fertility treatment. We argue that sperms are the secret to success, and that there are many avenues for improving b...
Gamete and embryo quality are critical to the success rate of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) cycles, but there remains a lack of methods to accurately measure the quality of sperm, oocytes and embryos. The ability of Artificial Intelligence (...
