An experimental technique analyses the functioning of human sperm before being inseminated

(Center for Genomic Regulation) The work of the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and Eugin Group succeeds in observing the fertilization capacity of the sperm cell before its insemination in the oocyte. Researchers put male gametes in contact with the cytoplasm of female animal gametes to see if they perform their functions properly. The technology studies the incidence of sperm morphology, concentration, and motility in the embryo formation process.
