Sperm activation through orbital and self-axis revolutions using an artificial cilia embedded serpentine microfluidic platform
Abstract The zebrafish sperm activation profoundly depends upon the homogeneous mixing of the sperm cells with its diluent in a quick succession as it alters the cell’s extracellular medium and initiates their motility. Manual stirring, the traditional method for zebrafish sperm activation is tediou...
