DNA fragmentation in spermatozoa: a historical review
Sperm DNA Fragmentation has been extensively studied for more than a decade. In the 1940s the uniqueness of the spermatozoa protein complex which stabilizes the DNA was discovered. In the fifties and sixties, the association between unstable chromatin structure and subfertility was investigated. In the seventies, the impact of induced DNA damage was investigated. In the 1980s the concept of spe...
متن کاملSpermatozoa: A Historical Perspective
The 100,000th scientific article on the subject of spermatozoa was recently published. Many studies have evaluated the characteristics of this important cell leading to great discoveries. Since its first observation and description in 1677, many important characteristics have been described regarding this highly fascinating gamete. In this review, our objective has been to provide a historical ...
متن کاملOrigin and biological significance of DNA fragmentation in human spermatozoa.
The occurrence of DNA fragmentation in mammalian spermatozoa was identified in 1993. In human, sperm DNA fragmentation is particularly relevant in subfertile patients (i.e, those subjects more likely to be treated by assisted reproductive techniques). Thus, concerns have been raised about the possibility that sperm with DNA fragmentation may be involved in the process of fertilization, in parti...

متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery/Radiotherapy: A Historical Review
"Stereotactic" is an exact radiotherapy treatment modality which implements invasive and non-invasive facilities for improving precise dose delivery. Stereotactic refers to three-dimensional localization of a specific point in space by a unique set of coordinates that relate to a fixed external reference frame. An accurate delivery of radiation is attainable using these techniques with high pre...
