About this book
The sperm head undergoes a remarkable structural transformation on its journey from spermatogenesis to egg activation. This book examines the molecular and biochemical mechanisms that drive that transformation — the cytoplasmic layers, membrane systems, acrosome, perinuclear theca, and nucleus — and how each is modified and matured along the way.
Written by Kiyotaka Toshimori and translated into Persian by Hamid Kahram, Navid Dadashpour Dolchi, and Bahram Afrasiabi, it closes with the clinically important question of how the sperm head behaves in natural fertilisation compared with IVF and ICSI.
