DOI: 10.1080/19396368.2016.1261203
Abstract: ABSTRACT To assess whether high magnification sperm head vacuole examination (SHVE) and/or standard sperm morphology assessment can predict ICSI outcomes in terms of fertilization, embryo quality, and delivery rates, a prospective observational bicentric study was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolre/ioab145
Abstract: Mammalian sperm carry a variety of highly condensed insoluble protein structures such as the perinuclear theca, the fibrous sheath and the outer dense fibers, which are essential to sperm function. We studied the role of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molehr/gaaa031
Abstract: The connecting pieces of the sperm neck link the flagellum and the sperm head, and they are important for initiating flagellar beating. The connecting pieces are important building blocks for the sperm neck, however the… read more here.
