About this Research Topic
This research topic aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in sperm motility and male reproduction research. This research topic aims to collate methods in sperm motility and function research, including review articles, original research reports and methodologies, which include the advantages and limitations of each. This topic should include technologies and up-to-date methods which will help to advance science and our understanding of sperm motility at the functional, cellular and molecular levels. Improving methodologies for sperm motility research can help further our understanding of sperm function, which has implications for our understanding of fertility and infertility.
All contributions to this collection will undergo peer review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of sperm motility and function research. Submissions will be handled by the team of topic editors.
This Research Topic welcomes:
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods which have been significantly improved or adapted for specific applications. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including challenges and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ these techniques. The protocols must be proven to work, and may not be solely hypothetical.
• Perspective or general commentaries: Focused on methods and protocols relevant to sperm motility research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews: Focused on topical methods and protocols, highlighting important future directions for the field and limitations for consideration.
