Researchers have linked Alan Turing’s pattern formation theory to the spontaneous movement of sperm tails, revealing potential applications in medicine and robotics. Patterns of chemical…
Scientists identify new protein biomarkers for visualizing well-developed sperm to assess the potential success of surgical sperm retrieval. In a recent study, scientists developed a…
The research builds on previous discoveries made by OHSU, indicating that persistent use of cannabis could potentially impair male fertility in animal studies. This will…
According to a new study from the University of East Anglia, time-restricted fasting diets may lead to fertility issues. The study, published on April 12th,…
Researchers have discovered a gene, Arrdc5, which could pave the way for a reversible, non-hormonal male contraceptive. The gene affects sperm count, movement, and shape,…
Fighting back against mosquitoes by deactivating their sperm. A recent study conducted at UC Riverside makes it likely that proteins responsible for activating mosquito sperm…
Occupational factors, such as physical demands and work schedules, were associated with higher sperm concentrations and serum testosterone among men in the EARTH study. A…
The male reproductive system is a hotspot for the emergence of new genes, which may explain why more new mutations are passed down from fathers…
Scientists have published the first meta-analysis to demonstrate declining sperm counts among men from South and Central America, Asia, and Africa. The international team was…
Research offers additional insights into the reproductive process. A team of scientists has discovered that the behavior of sperm cells is due, in part, to…
According to research conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, the enzyme DOT1L, a stem cell self-renewal factor, is necessary for mice to continue producing sperm…
Obese men can double their sperm count Men all throughout the globe are experiencing declining semen quality, which is commonly referred to as an outright…
A new sperm age measurement could predict pregnancy success Pregnancy, often known as gestation, is the period of time when one or more fetuses grow…
Testicles of most mammals are cooled in the scrotum, and elevated testicular temperatures lead to spermatogenesis failure and male infertility. A team of researchers led…
Scientists have traced the cause of increased numbers of mutations in children to a higher rate of random mutations in sperm cells of the biological…
A study led by researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the University of Kent uncovers how the genome three-dimensional structure of male…
Research in mice holds implications for childhood cancer survivors. Male testis tissue that is cryopreserved can be reimplanted after more than two decades and will…
According to a single-cell analysis of autopsied human testes, abnormalities associated with aging sperm cells may be exacerbated by elevated body mass index (BMI). The…
