      abstract = {Novel topics compiled in this one-of-a-kind volume provide  tantalizing hints for clinical application through future  translational research. Only recently have we come to ask  what role the male might play in pregnancy loss and embryo  implantation failure, beyond contributing an abnormal set  of paternal chromosomes at fertilization. This volume  explores the recent evidence that these conditions might  also be related to the transmission of previously  unrecognized chromosomal micro-deletions and duplications,  or via the epigenetic dysregulation of early embryonic gene  function by spermatozoal microRNAs or alterations in sperm  DNA methylation patterning, or by DNA damage secondary to  either reactive oxygen species or environmental toxicants.  In addition, the composition of seminal plasma has been  found to be highly complex, containing many factors that  play important roles in altering the uterine environment  and the female immune system permissive of embryo  implantation and trophectoderm outgrowth leading to  successful pregnancy. Coverage includes an examination of  both spermatozoa and seminal fluid component factors.},
