  • Title: Extended culture of human spermatozoa in the laboratory may have practical value in the assisted reproductive procedures.
    Author: Hossain AM, Osuamkpe CO, Nagamani M.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 2008 Jan; 89(1):237-9. PubMed ID: 17482167.
    Abstract:
    Spermatozoa were cultured in vitro to monitor time-dependent changes in motility, viability, morphology, and membrane integrity. The degree of preservation of these clinically relevant sperm parameters over time was satisfactory. Extended culture probably can be used as a transient storage for sperm to compensate for a male's inability to produce sperm to synchronize oocyte retrieval in assisted reproduction.
