Once a sperm has broken through to an egg cell in order to fertilize it, the two cells need to hold together tightly. This ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells ...

Once a sperm has broken through to an egg cell in order to fertilise it, the two cells need to hold together tightly. This ...

Neil Hunter, a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, has discovered a crucial step in how chromosomes stay connected during the development for egg cells and sperm, ...

Researchers have discovered how sperm cells perform an extraordinary metabolic transformation after ejaculation, from quiet ...

Groundbreaking research shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in sperm become more common—not just from random ...

New research, just published in the journal Cell Reports, suggests that sperm cells can be created in the lab from skin cells. What this really means is that the limitations to further progress in the ...

As men age, harmful sperm mutations increase — not just by chance, but because some are favored during sperm production.

US scientists testing the technique say it could help people overcome infertility and potentially allow same-sex couples to ...

The age of the father plays a role in pregnancy outcomes, with harmful genetic changes in sperm being substantially more ...
