The intricate “ART” of ICSI - Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics

This manuscript explores the intricacies and nuances of the Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure, drawing on insights from three decades of experience at a specialized center managing numerous cases of male factor infertility. Our center is comprised of an embryology laboratory, an andrology and assisted fertilization laboratory, and a Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) laboratory, each fostering specialized expertise independently. Collaboration among these laboratories, alongside reproductive physicians and urologists, ensures comprehensive feedback and optimal care for patients undergoing infertility treatment. The manuscript specifically focuses on the andrology laboratory’s pivotal role in evaluating and treating infertile patients, highlighting critical preparations for the ICSI procedure, and the key considerations essential to its successful implementation, including the selection of the ideal spermatozoon, oocyte dysmaturity, proper equipment, and most importantly the execution of the procedure itself.

I always giggle looking at the penile implant pump model we give our patient for training.

Congratulations to #Andronet member Hubert Schorle for his two recent publications:
Actl7b deficiency leads to mislocalization of LC8 type dynein light chains and disruption of murine spermatogenesis https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.201593
Cylicins are a structural component of the sperm calyx being indispensable for male fertility in mice and human https://elifesciences.org/articles/86100
this last one having multiple Andronet members in the author list.

Actl7b deficiency leads to mislocalization of LC8 type dynein light chains and disruption of murine spermatogenesis

Summary: Actl7b-deficient mice display spermatogenic arrest, which is likely due to loss of the interaction of ACTL7B with DYNLL1/DYNLL2, a spermatid cytoskeleton protein.

Call to action on male infertility research
Several #Andronet members are co-authors of this Expert Recommendation on @NatRevUrol

"Frequency, morbidity and equity - the case for increased research on male fertility"
https://lnkd.in/eHQvVZ2s

Did you know that most men with #infertility don't receive a causal diagnosis? This is caused by a lack of knowledge around the factors responsible for male infertility. What is more, treatment options are limited and not individualised. Often, the burden of male infertility is simply transferred to the female partner during medically assisted reproduction. On the other hand, lack of rigorous research into male fertility also results in a relative lack of male contraceptives. In this article the authors identify the most pressing questions currently facing #andrology and make specific recommendations for action. Congratulations to the authors on this important piece of work 👏
