Raman spectroscopy of DNA packaging in individual human sperm cells distinguishes normal from abnormal cells
16 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Healthy human males produce sperm cells of which about 25-40% have abnormal head shapes. Increases in the percentage of sperm exhibiting aberrant sperm head morphologies have been correlated with male infertility, and biochemical studies of pooled sperm have suggested that sperm with abnormal shape may contain DNA that has not been properly repackaged by protamine during spermatid development. We have used...
