In fact, the only time I really decided to work in the field of reproductive biology was when I had to find an internship for my Master’s studies in Biomedical Sciences. I felt honored and privileged to be taught embryology by Prof. Van Steirteghem, the ‘inventor’ of ICSI. I enjoyed his course a lot as …

During the differentiation phase at the spermiogenesis (the last phase of the spermatogenesis), haploid round spermatids undergo an extreme morphological remodelling of nuclear and cytoplasmic structures. Nonetheless, while testicular sperm are morphologically specialized cells, they are not functional and lack both the ability to swim and fertilize. Hence, sperm maturation in the epididymis is therefore …

Sperm has classically been perceived as a vehicle of the male genome to the zygote. However, thanks to the application of high-throughput technologies to study the male gamete, it is now known that this small cell is much more complex than a simple DNA carrier. The sperm cell contains, besides the paternal genome, a great …
ANDRONET, the biggest running European network in andrology, aims to increase research collaboration, education, and public awareness in male reproductive health. It was born within a social context of worst reproductive outcomes, tightly related with the male factor, in which establishing strong connections between clinicians and researchers is essential to tackle a problem with such …
