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 ...
Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by ...
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 ...
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, ...
Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...
Video of a new mathematical model that predicts that mammalian sperm cells have two distinct swimming modes. This prediction opens new questions about potential connections between sperm cells’ motor ...
Sperm are male reproductive (sex) cells. The word "sperm" can refer to spermatozoon (singular) or spermatozoa (plural). Sperm are tiny cells with an oval-shaped body and a long tail. They measure just ...
Chinese researchers have developed a lotion to boost sperm motility, an advance that could help tackle the global male fertility crisis. Male fertility has been declining across the world over the ...
