PURPOSE: Decision-making for orchiectomy following testicular torsion often relies on subjective clinical evaluations. This study investigates the efficacy of machine learning (ML) models in objectively predicting post-torsion testicular viability, a...
Cryptorchidism, a common male reproductive disorder characterized by undescended testes, is associated with infertility and increased cancer risk. While its etiology remains incompletely understood, accumulating evidence suggests that immune-inflamma...
BACKGROUND: Abnormal programmed cell death (PCD) plays a central role in spermatogenic dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanisms and biomarkers of PCD in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) remain unclear.
BACKGROUND: Histological analysis of the testicular sections is paramount in infertility research but tedious and often requires months of training and practice.
Testicular histology based on testicular biopsy is an important factor for determining appropriate testicular sperm extraction surgery and predicting sperm retrieval outcomes in patients with azoospermia. Therefore, we developed a deep learning (DL) ...
The pathological diagnosis and treatment of azoospermia depend on precise identification of spermatogenic cells. Traditional methods are time-consuming and highly subjective due to complexity of Johnsen score, posing challenges for accurately diagnos...

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...
BACKGROUND: The relationship between surgical sperm retrieval of different etiologies and clinical pregnancy is unclear. We aimed to develop a robust and interpretable machine learning (ML) model for predicting clinical pregnancy using the SHapley Ad...
BACKGROUND: Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-Seq) has been widely adopted to study gene expression of the human testis. Several datasets of scRNA-Seq from human testis have been generated from different groups processed with different informatics pipelines...
