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 ...

A new study shows that lab-grown sperm cells can be derived from stem cells. July 9, 2009 — -- The face of infertility-- in literature, in the media, in advocacy groups -- is so predominantly ...

For decades, sperm were thought to become fully active the moment they entered the female reproductive tract. New research suggests otherwise. A temperature-sensitive switch inside sperm cells may ...

Mounting evidence from research on nematodes to mice indicate that a father's environment, such as what he eats or if he is exposed to stress or toxicants, can lead to metabolic and behavioral ...

Researchers found that sperm RNA profiles shift with paternal age in both mice and humans. Using PANDORA-seq, they identified ...

New research shows how sperm RNA changes as men age, revealing a biological shift that may affect reproduction and child ...

A novel screening system enables researchers to investigate sperm cell development and health at the molecular level. The new approach promises breakthroughs in male contraception and infertility ...

The so-called ticking biological clock has been framed largely as a concern for women. We talk about egg freezing, ovarian ...
