Description
Aiswarya and a lab team in India set in 2026 two ways of testing semen side by side, and tried a fresh marker for male infertility. Hand counts under a lens are cheap but swing with the eye of the tester. A computer rig, called CASA, reads count, swim speed, and shape the same way each run. The team ran both ways on 200 samples from men in couples who could not conceive. They also gauged calprotectin, a swelling linked protein, in the fluid.
The two ways tracked each other tight on main scores, above all total sperm count and strength of swim. The marker told a weak tale: more calprotectin went with slightly worse counts, swim, and shape, but the links were faint. Smoking showed faint harm links as well. The authors back the rig for fair, firm reads, and ask for bigger studies on the marker.
