Researchers at Newcastle University in England report they have coaxed the first human sperm cells from embryonic stem cells, in a remarkable demonstration of how quickly the field of stem-cell ...

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 ...

Mounting evidence from research on nematodes to mice indicate that a father's environment, such as what he eats or if he is ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research, just published in the journal Cell Reports, suggests that sperm cells can be created in the lab from skin cells. What this really means is that the limitations to further progress in the ...

Japanese scientists genetically modified mice to have light-emitting sperm to monitor fertility inside their bodies in a ...

An egg cell and a sperm need to hold together tightly in the Fallopian tube in order to fuse, resulting in the creation of a new organism. One key part of this process involves the proteins Juno, on ...
