(BOSTON) — More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care ...

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 ...

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 ...

Germ cells pass DNA to the next generation and undergo massive reorganization of their DNA packaging to generate totipotency, or the ability to differentiate into any cell type. Understanding the ...

A team of researchers at the TechMed Centre of the University of Twente has transformed real sperm cells into tiny, magnetically controlled microrobots. These sperm bots can now be tracked in real ...

Nearly eight to 12 percent of couples all over the world face fertility issues, with male infertility accounting for almost 50 percent of the cases. 1 A common cause of male infertility is errors ...

Harmful genetic changes in sperm become substantially more common as men age because some are actively favored during sperm production, new research has revealed. In a landmark study published today ...
