Mechanical tuning of mammalian sperm behaviour by hyperactivation, rheology and substrate adhesion: a numerical exploration

The great mammalian sperm race encounters numerous microenvironments to which sperm must adapt and a fundamental sperm response is the change in its waveform both due to fluid rheology and due to capacitation, with the latter associated with a hyperactivated beat pattern. Hence, in this modelling st...
