intertwined in each cleavage cycle. We can now identify nuclear defects in live
sperm using high powered lenses, but the centrosome is beyond resolution.
If we can correlate centrosomal dysfunction to sperm motility, we might find a
non-invasive method of sperm selection, particularly for ICSI in cases of severe
male infertility.
