Just look at the last 3 swimmers - despite a 10-fold increase in viscosity, sperm maintain consistent velocity without increasing metabolic activity by switching to 2D slither swimming β a fascinating natural mechanism that helps high DNA integrity sperm reach the egg quicker!
Excited to share @Farin_yp#cover article in Small Methods, revealing a transition from 3D swimming to 2D slithering by increasing viscosity π«β an energy-efficient motility mode to reach the egg quicker! πππ
