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 ...

When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things—including a crucial event that happened ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

In a recent study published in Cell Metabolism, a research paper provides the first evidence that sperm microRNAs act as ...

Human fertility hinges on a delicate molecular ballet that begins even before birth. UC Davis researchers have uncovered how special protein networks safeguard chromosomes as eggs and sperm form, ...

Baylor College of Medicine researchers have found that a failure in the development of sperm cells can lead to the formation of testicular tumors in mice. These findings, published in the journal ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to produce functional eggs using a new scientific technique they say could one day help ...

Researchers from Nanjing University and Nanjing Medical University have identified sperm microRNAs as key messengers that ...

Recently referred to as “sperm-bots” or “bio-bots”, biohybrid swimmers are a recent breakthrough in the science of biomechanics. Biohybrid swimmers are small-scale functional devices that are modeled ...
