Dr. Smurf revealed the startling reality of the male reproductive system and what happens when people don't release sperm in ...

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 ...

Sperm cells have a monumental task, but their days are numbered. From the moment they're made in the testes to the time they may spend winding their way up the labyrinthine of the female reproductive ...

An artificial-intelligence tool honoured by one of this year’s Nobel prizes has revealed intimate details of the molecular meet-cute between sperm and eggs. The AlphaFold program, which predicts ...

Scientists have identified an RNA-based sperm aging clock driven by rsRNA length changes, which may help assess paternal reproductive risk and offspring health.

COULD IVF success rates be improved simply by changing the materials used to make Petri dishes? It seems that standard polystyrene dishes may undermine the viability of sperm. Researchers have found ...

India, March 17 -- Selfish chromosomes bias genetic inheritance by manipulating the overdrive (Ovd) gene, a natural sperm quality control checkpoint.

A peer-reviewed, multi-clinic study published in the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics suggests an epigenetic ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...
