Members of the Buffone team participated in the 57th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR), held from July 15 to 19 in Dublin, Ireland. This event was an excellent opportunity to present our results, exchange knowledge, and establish connections with internationally renowned researchers.

Dr. Ana Romarowski was selected to give an oral presentation in the session “Sperm Quality and Function,” titled: “Simultaneous High-Resolution Live Imaging of Cytoplasmic and Intracellular Calcium Store Dynamics in Progesterone-Induced Capacitated Mouse Sperm Acrosomal Exocytosis”. Authors: Romarowski A; Manikis S; Jabloñski M; Visconti PE; Darszon A; Sánchez-Cárdenas C; Buffone MG. Ana received support from the SSR and the Male Contraceptive Initiative to attend the conference.

Dr. Guillermina Luque presented two posters: “BSA-Mediated Rapid Calcium Uptake Initiates sAC Activation and cAMP Production During Mouse Sperm Capacitation”. Authors: Luque GM; Jabloñski M; Schiavi-Ehrenhaus LJ; Balbach M; Romarowski A; del Prado RC; Hidalgo DM; Visconti PE; Darszon A; Krapf D; Levin LR; Buck J; Buffone MG. “HyperSperm, a New Sperm Preparation Method for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Improves Sperm Capacitation, Increasing the Number of High-Quality Blastocysts in Mice”. Authors: Luque GM; Gomez-Elias MD; Kasparas I; Novero AG; Steeman TJ; del Prado RC, Vassena R; Krapf D; Buffone MG.
