OBJECTIVE: This randomized clinical trial study aims to investigate the effects of antioxidant food supplementation on the total antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma, sperm DNA fragmentation, sperm ...

Multicellular organisms have diverse life cycles that include asexual reproduction strategies like fragmentation, fission, budding, and parthenogenesis. We know little about the ecological and ...

Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) represents strand breaks that may compromise embryo development, reproductive outcomes, and offspring health, particularly when the oocyte's repair capacity is limited.

Europe is trying to fix its broken startup ecosystem with a bold new proposal—but early signs suggest it may not go far enough. Despite promises of simplification, the deeper problem remains: ...

Mote Marine Laboratory scientists have restored more than 216,000 corals to Florida’s Coral Reef—an exciting milestone. Starting in 2020, several of our restored corals spawned, engaging in sexual ...

With the goal of investigating the assembly and fragmentation of cellular aggregates, this manuscript examines cyanobacterial aggregates in a laboratory setting. This quantitative investigation of the ...

Evolutionarily speaking, the ultimate goal of a lifeform is to reproduce and stave off extinction. Many plants and animals have evolved unique tricks to do so. One of these tricks is mimicry, which ...

Biodiversity is disappearing at an alarming rate and is driven by human activity: contamination, greenhouse gases and extreme temperatures. But how exactly do these factors affect the reproduction and ...
