Sperm DNA damage or progressive motility: which one is the better predictor of fertilization in vitro?

abstract：:Reproductive biology is considered a specialty field, however, an argument can be made that it is instead generally applicable to many fields of biology. The one-cell embryo is presented here as a model system for the study of eukaryotic DNA replication, apoptotic DNA degradation, and signaling mechanisms between the ...
