Infertility
Conditions
Brief summary
Women over 35 years old are likely to suffer from impaired oocyte repair capacity. Teratozoospermia is a condition reflects morphological affection of sperm. These spermatozoa would add an extra burden on the oocyte after ICSI. Whether selecting mature sperm by magnetic nanoparticle protocol would provide a more competent sperm to a likely affected oocyte would improve ICSI outcomes is the question of this research.
