Faster Than a Speeding Bullet, Stronger Than a …. Sperm??

Yep, that’s right.  Men’s sperm is being looked at as a possible locomotion tool to propel tiny medical devices and instruments throughout the body.  Or at least the mechanisms that propel the little sperm, which are known as being nature’s greatest swimmers, especially considering their microscopic size.

The mechanism that propels a man’s sperm in his ejaculate (products like Deer Antler Plus are supposed to help increase ejaculate and hence the pleasure derived from male orgasm or climax) is called the flagellum, if you recal junior high biology class very well (much of which I’ve admittedly forgotten myself), and this is the part of the sperm that is prized for it’s locomotion capability, or the ability to move something throughout the body or somewhere else.

And what makes the sperm’s amazing journey throughout a woman’s body so miraculous, and faster than anything known to any type of distance or speed swam by man on earth?  Well, it’s part of the tail of the sperm that produces the mechanisms that make this jet like propelling motion and quick movement possible. 

Along the tail are a series of mechanisms that work in unison, and they are all made of a dynamic compound called ATP, which is known for it’s dynamic movement capabilities, especially when paired with a beating-like movement that gets the stronger swimmers to where they need to go.  It truly is one of nature’s greatest marvels if you think about it, and when sperm is taken from exceptionally healthy men, it just makes for all that much  more perfect specimens for such lofty and ambitious experiments in science.   

So, in too much scientific jargon boiled down to just the laymen’s terms, scientists want to borrow the “technology” of male sperm and use it to bind to tiny gold or other metal chips that are to be implanted in to the body as a tiny medical device in the near future.  The propel motion provided by the proteins and other chemicals in the sperm are truly nature’s most perfect locomotion for these medical devices, and scientists know that they can borrow the science and make it even better.
