Ascorbic acid addition in Tris egg yolk extender also improved sperm cell
membrane integrity of sahiwal cattle bulls shown in Table I.
The normal percentage was based on 200 sperm cells
The increase in voltage from the original level to a higher level indicated the volume of a sperm cell
A sperm cell
that reaches the egg too quickly may not be capable of successful fertilization.
Once the nucleus of the sperm cell
enters the oocyte, it decondenses.
Branching somatic cells forming a meshwork constitute the germinal part in which groups of sperm cells
are embedded (Fig.
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology was used to testify whether PEI can carry DNA into abalone sperm cells
Consequently, when a sperm cell
entered an egg cell in the process of fertilization, the chromosomes reached their normal number for the species, half of them coming from the mother and half from the father.
They discovered that among healthy adult males who were not being treated for infertility, the average sperm count had declined by about 40 percent, from 120 million sperm cells
per milliliter of semen to about 70 million.
These results dramatically indicate new potential applications for ERGO in various fields in which cell preservation is crucial, including, but not limited to, applications involving stem cells, sperm cells
, oocytes (ova), chondrocytes (cartilage), and cell cloning Oxis has filed protective patents to cover these potential new applications for ERGO.
To complete the picture, two such somatic protective cells surround each maturing sperm cell
, and those encysting somatic cells send signals to the sperm cell
on how and when to mature.
Washington, Feb 12 ( ANI ): Doctors may soon have a new technique to help them sort the good sperm cells
from the less viable ones: a tracking system, developed by a team of researchers from four European institutions, that takes 3-D movies of living sperm.
