Behavioral mechanism of human sperm in thermotaxis: a role for hyperactivation

21 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

STUDY QUESTION: What is the behavioral mechanism underlying the response of human spermatozoa to a temperature gradient in thermotaxis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Human spermatozoa swim up a temperature gradient by modulating their speed and frequencies of hyperactivation events and turns. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Capacitated human spermatozoa are capable of thermotactically responding to a temperature gradient with an...
