Motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME) and sperm head vacuoles: state of the art in 2013

3 Jul 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND Approximately 10 years after the first publication introducing the motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME), many questions remained about sperm vacuoles: frequency, size, localization, mode of occurrence, biological significance and impact on male fertility potential. Many studies have tried to characterize sperm vacuoles, to determine the sperm abnormalities possibly associated with...
