Azoospermia and Sperm Predict Approximately 10-15% of men struggling with infertility are diagnosed with azoospermia, which means they have no sperm in their semen. Obstructive azoospermia (OA), caused by blockages in the reproductive tract, is responsible for 40% of cases, while the remaining 60% are due to issues with sperm

Verification of male infertility biomarkers in seminal plasma by multiplex selected reaction monitoring assay Seminal plasma is a promising biological fluid to use for noninvasive clinical diagnostics of male reproductive system disorders. To verify a list of prospective male infertility biomarkers, we developed a multiplex selected reaction monitoring assay and

New Lab Test Brings Us Closer to Easier Male Fertility Diagnostics Scientists at Flow Labs have taken a big step forward in helping us understand a key male fertility protein called TEX101 — a protein linked to sperm production in the testicles. In this study, they developed a special lab

Sperm DNA Fragmentation: Consequences for Reproduction DNA fragmentation, or the accumulation of sin- gle- and double-strand DNA breaks, is a common property of sperm, and an increase in the level of sperm DNA fragmentation is known to influence natural reproduction. The effect of sperm DNA fragmentation on male infertility and

Abstract Infertility affects one in six couples worldwide, and fertility continues to deteriorate globally, partly owing to a decline in semen quality. Sperm analysis has a central role in diagnosing and treating male factor infertility. Many emerging techniques, such as digital holography, super-resolution microscopy and next-generation sequencing, have been developed

Overview There is “absolutely no evidence” that covid-19 vaccines can affect the fertility of women or men, says new expert guidance. The guidance,1 published by the Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists and the British Fertility Society, comes amid concerns that misinformation that has been circulating online about covid-19 vaccines and

Abstract Mass vaccination using newly approved vaccines against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has begun globally. However, their effect on fertility have not yet been investigated. Previous studies demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 infection may impair sperm parameters. In this study, we are the first to assess the effect
