Microgrooves and fluid flows provide preferential passageways for sperm over pathogen <i>Tritrichomonas foetus</i>

13 Apr 2015

Abstract excerpt

Successful mammalian reproduction requires that sperm migrate through a long and convoluted female reproductive tract before reaching oocytes. For many years, fertility studies have focused on biochemical and physiological requirements of sperm. Here we show that the biophysical environment of the female reproductive tract critically guides sperm migration, while at the same time preventing the invasion of...
