Andrology Lab Corner* Receptors in Spermatozoa: Are They Real?

Sperm develop in the seminiferous tubules of testes following a complex developmental process called spermatogenesis. A series of morphologic remodeling occurs during spermiogenesis before the sperm are released into the lumen of the tubules by spermiation (Eddy and O’Brien, 1994). Mammalian testicular spermatozoa are relatively nonmotile and incapable of fertilizing an ovum. In most species, s...

Frontiers in clinical andrology

Eponyms in andrology

Andrology is the study of male reproductive health, its associated medicines, and biology, including functions and diseases that are specific to men, especially with regard to the reproductive organs. This concise report discusses the eponyms that are encountered in andrological literature.

Microfluidic applications for andrology.

Perhaps one of the most exciting and revolutionary scientific discoveries of the past 3 decades has been the development of in vitro fertilization (IVF) to treat human infertility. It is impossible to quantify its effect on numerous families since the first IVF birth in 1978 in Oldham, England (Steptoe and Edwards, 1978). With increasing clinical utilization of assisted reproductive technologie...

Andrology 2016 and Beyond

In itself, andrology specialty is rapidly progressing one that gains day after day momentum to boost and broaden its wealth of information to answer the questions of the exact nature of biological, endocrinological, genetic as well as molecular proceedings or progress taking place in andrological disorders. At the same time, it offers an ultimate solution for specific andrological problems depe...
