ArticleImpact of intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection on assisted reproduction outcome: a review
Section snippets
Marco Nadalini obtained his Biology degree in 2002 at the University of Bologna, Italy. Since then he has been working in the field of assisted reproduction and in 2006 he became a permanent staff member of Tecnobios Procreazione, Centre for Reproductive Health in Bologna. Current research interests include cytogenetic and male infertility, especially regarding molecular biology of the male germ cell and structure of sperm chromatin.

2013, Reproductive BioMedicine OnlineCitation Excerpt :Several RCT have been performed since the original study. The technique was reviewed and one meta-analysis was published (Nadalini et al., 2009; Setti et al., 2010). The meta-analysis was performed on three of the 35 IMSI studies investigated (Bartoov et al., 2003; Berkovitz et al., 2006; Antinori et al., 2008).
