Scientists have developed a “fertility chip” that can accurately count sperm and measure their motility. The chip can be inserted into a compact device for one-off use. A home test kit will soon make ...
Flagella and cilia are used in unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes for fast cell motility, rapid movement of material over cell surfaces, cell feeding and cell division. The structure of the ...
A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered the fundamental laws governing the distribution of self-propelled particles ...
Researchers have developed a new sperm test that could improve pregnancy rates among women treated with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) motility test enables ...
A simple laboratory test can separate healthy, functional sperm cells from sperm with damaged DNA with 99-percent accuracy, according to new research. The test uses a chemical found in the membrane of ...
