Mammalian Sperm Motility: Observation and Theory (2011, methodology): “…there has also been a resurgence in explorations of the fundamental biophysics and fluid dynamics of sperm swimming (for reviews and recent research, see Fauci & Dillon 2006, Riedel-Kruse et al. 2007, Brokaw 2008, Lauga & Powers 2009, Teran et al. 2010, Mitchison & Mitchison 2010, Powers 2010).”

Self-propulsion in viscoelastic fluids: Pushers vs. pullers (2012, background): “The physical mechanisms of microorganism locomotion accompany a variety of natural phenomena, including human spermatozoa approaching the ovum in the mammalian female reproductive tract [1], algal blooms moving to nutrient rich environment in maritime regions [2, 3], biofilm formation [4], and param”
Waving transport and propulsion in a generalized Newtonian fluid (2013, background): “In humans, the flow produced by the deformation of cilia is involved in the transport of several biological fluids, including the removal of tracheobronchial mucus in the respiratory track [4–6], the transport of ovulatory mucus and the ovum in the oviduct of the female reproductive track [4,7], and”

Life at high Deborah number (2008, background): “INTRODUCTION The physics of cell locomotion in viscous fluids affects many important biological processes [1], such as the journey of spermatozoa through the mammalian female reproductive tract [2], the mechanisms by which motile bacteria are able to progress towards high nutrient concentration [3],”
Microswimming in viscoelastic fluids (2021, background): “This motion plays a crucial role in the removal of foreign substances in the mammalian respiratory tracts, the transport of fallopian tube isthmic mucus and ovum, and the transcervical spermatozoa migration in reproductive tracts [6, 21, 22, 23].”
Hydrodynamic propulsion of human sperm (2009, background): “There are also many instances in the female reproductive tract where sperm are in close proximity to epithelial surfaces, or the ovum (Fauci & Dillon 2006).”
The hydrodynamics of swimming microorganisms (2008, background): “Over the years there have been many classic reviews, from the general perspective of animal locomotion [10], from the perspective of fluid dynamics at low Reynolds number [11, 12, 13, 14, 3, 15, 16], and from the perspective of the biophysics and biology of cell motility [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 1].”
