OBJECTIVEIntracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a technique which involves aspiration of the oocyte membrane after mechanically penetrating the zona pellucida. This process might result in an increase in the internal pressure of the oocyte and a possible degeneration of the oocyte membrane. PIEZO-ICSI is a technique which uses a piezoelectric actuator to maintain the microdrilling...Read More
ObjectiveTo investigate possible associations between serum antimüllerian hormone (AMH) concentration and semen quality in infertile men. Studies investigating the associations between serum AMH concentration and semen quality in infertile men have shown conflicting results. DesignInfertile men were included during screening for participation in the First in Treating Male Infertility Study, a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 1:1, single-center...Read More
Purpose Semen parameters are subjected to within-individual variability over time. The driving factors for this variability are likely multi-factorial, with healthier lifestyle associated with better semen quality. The extent in which variations in individual’s lifestyle contributes to within-individual semen variability is unknown. In healthy men from the general population, semen quality and associated lifestyle factors...Read More
Sperm that were immobile became active after just 20 seconds of ultrasound exposure in a lab experiment that may help boost the success of fertility treatment. Exposing immobile sperm to ultrasound waves gets them moving, a lab study has shown. Sperm that don’t move properly are a key cause of infertility, as it is harder...Read More
Are the prospective reproductive outcomes in RPL couples related to sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) measured by SCSA, morphology and concentration at referral? Design A prospective cohort study including 95 couples seen between 01/04/2018 and 01/12/2019 at the tertiary Copenhagen RPL Unit, Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet and Hvidovre Hospital, Denmark. The couples had experienced three...Read More
The role of sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in investigating fertility, embryonic development,and pregnancy is of academic interest. However, there is ongoing controversy regarding the impactof DFI on pregnancy outcomes and the safety of offspring in the context of Assisted ReproductiveTechnology (ART). Sperm DFI has an impact on both miscarriage rates and birth weight in...Read More

Sperm selection of the most competent sperm is a promising way to enhance reproductive outcomes. Apoptosis is the programmed cell death process to maintain tissue homeostasis, and MACS sperm selection of non-apoptotic cells enables the removal of apoptotic sperm from an ejaculate, thus leaving the non-apoptotic available to be microinjected, but given the associated costs...Read More
Historically, only women’s drinking was considered a risk during pregnancy, but new research points to the role of fathers’ habits as well. Men drink more, are more likely to binge drink and are almost four times more likely to develop alcohol use disorder than women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Research clearly shows...Read More
Sperm Tracer is a unique AI technological software that supports fertility experts and embryologists to evaluate, in real-time, the best sperm for ICSI procedures.
Each embryo carries 50% of the genetic information of an oocyte and 50% of a sperm. Every single sperm participating with 50% of the DNA cargo of the embryo, could play a detrimental role for the embryo itself and its quality.
