Summary: To conserve the important species of bison in Europe and North America, conservation efforts have focused on establishing sustainable herds through the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). These technologies facilitate the transfer of genetics and offer protection against future losses of genetic diversity. Research on ART for bison has made progress, but there are still opportunities for improvement and expanding their impact on bison conservation.

Summary: Bison are important species ecologically and culturally, and conservation efforts are focused on building sustainable herds using assisted reproductive technologies. This review discusses the current state of ART in American bison and European bison, highlighting the potential for genetic conservation and the need for further improvement and expansion of these technologies.

Summary: Male fertility preservation has been on the rise in the past two decades, with advancements in treatment modalities and a growing demand for future parenthood. Sperm cryopreservation is considered the gold standard for fertility preservation, while experimental techniques like testicular tissue and spermatogonial stem cell autotransplantation show promise as alternatives for pre-pubertal patients.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of IVF/ICSI procedures in infertile couples where the male partner had a history of cancer treatment, finding that while pregnancy and live-birth rates were similar in fresh cycles regardless of semen type, embryo utilization and cryopreservation rates were significantly higher with cryopreserved semen, resulting in a higher cumulative pregnancy rate.

Summary: Resveratrol is a natural non-flavonoid polyphenol with beneficial effects on human health found in grapes, peanuts, and red wine. It has been reported to improve various diseases, but little is known about its relationship with male fertility. Research results in this area are often controversial.

Summary: The study found that TCS may act as an endocrine disruptor for the reproductive system. Exposure to TCS was shown to decrease sperm viability and motility, potentially related to the programming of reproductive cells during fetal/neonatal development.

Summary: With advances in cancer treatment, male infertility has become a significant concern for young cancer survivors, with 15% to 30% experiencing loss of fertility potential. The impairment of spermatogenesis caused by cytotoxic therapy can be temporary or permanent, depending on the drugs used and the radiation dose. Fertility preservation (FP) programs, including cryopreservation of semen or testicular biopsy, are being promoted to prevent spermatogenesis failure. Collaboration between reproductive medicine specialists and oncologists is crucial for the development of FP.

Summary: Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) have the potential to contribute significantly to the conservation of endangered wildlife, such as the koala. However, the lack of funding hinders the application of ARTs in koalas and other wildlife. It is important to raise public awareness and secure funding for the development of ARTs.

Summary: Linking the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study database to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System revealed that childhood cancer survivors are as likely to undergo treatment with assisted reproductive technology as their siblings. The success of assisted reproductive technology was not reduced after alkylator exposure.

Summary: Results of the study suggest that sleep parameters may affect female and male reproductive functions, with short sleep duration, evening chronotype, or shift/night work schedules potentially impacting fertility and IVF outcomes. However, due to heterogeneous study methodologies, the results were difficult to compare.

Summary: This study investigates the life history of Drosophila melanogaster sperm proteome and reveals substantial compositional changes after sperm are transferred to the female reproductive tract (FRT). Multiple seminal fluid proteins initially associate with sperm, but become undetectable after sperm storage. Female-derived proteins also associate with sperm immediately after mating, and contribute nearly 20% to the postmating sperm proteome after storage in the FRT. These female-derived proteins are enriched in processes associated with energy metabolism, suggesting their role in supporting sperm viability during the period between copulation and fertilization.

Summary: Artificial intelligence has been utilized in assisted reproductive technology to potentially improve success rates. Algorithms that track and rank individual sperm in real-time have been developed, but further research is needed to determine their clinical benefits in improving pregnancy rates.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of a novel non-centrifugation method (Io-Lix) on sperm parameters and ICSI reproductive outcomes. The results showed that Io-Lix sperm selection improved sperm parameters and reduced DNA fragmentation, leading to an increase in pregnancy rate and reduction in miscarriage in autologous ICSI. However, no significant difference was observed in the donor oocyte ICSI program.

Summary: The study found that cancer patients value counseling on fertility preservation highly and the majority expressed willingness to use an additional support tool designed for male cancer patients. This tool should include information on fertility preservation, sexuality, virility, consequences for partners, and experience reports from other patients. Professional, individualized information and a well-organized fertility preservation process improve the subjective experience of cancer patients.
