This device for the selection of sperm with the best migratory capacity is based on the property of mammalian sperm (including humans) to migrate in a temperature gradient (thermotaxis) in order to select the only spermatozoa that can get to fertilize the oocyte in vivo. It overcomes all the significant disadvantages that current equipments have, allowing the separation of multiple samples into single, disposable units. In addition it can be manufactured on production lines and its use and the processing of samples is very easy, not requiring qualified personnel.

Researchers at The University of Manitoba have identified an endogenous pathway that appears to play a key role in the development of MS pathogenesis and may allow for the development of novel markers for early diagnosis, disease prevention and personalized therapeutic approaches. Utilizing MS patient samples and a preclinical mouse model, researchers have discovered that a decline in the plasma levels of the signalling protein Nrg-1b1 is positively associated with MS development and progression, and could be potentially used as an early disease marker to help in MS diagnosis.
