The effect of prolonged incubation and temperature on oocyte activator phospholipase C-zeta activity of sperm | Uzun süreli inkübasyonun ve sıcaklığın oosit aktivatörü fosfolipaz C-zeta aktivitesine etkisi

Objective: Fertilization capacity of capacitated sperm decreases exponentially over time, but the reason is still under investigation. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of prolonged incubation and temperature on sperm fertilization capacity with motility and staining parameters of phospholipase C-zeta (PLCZ), which is considered to be the oocyte activation factor

Bacterial cellulose tubes as a nerve conduit for repairing complete facial nerve transection in a rat model

Purpose Functionality of the facial nerve is cosmetically important. While many techniques have been investigated, early and effective treatment for traumatic facial nerve paralysis remains challenging. Here, we aim to examine bacterial cellulose (BC) as a new tubularization material for improving facial nerve regeneration
