Chlamydiae are sexually transmitted pathogens that can apparently survive for a long time in the human intestine. This is reported by researchers from Würzburg and Berlin in the journal PLOS Pathogen...
Hydrogel Implant for the Treatment of Endometriosis
Researchers at ETH Zurich and Empa have developed a hydrogel implant that can prevent endometriosis, a disease that affects many women. This innovation also acts as a contraceptive. Interdisciplinary...
Researchers Have Presented a New Method for Manipulating Cell Movements in Embryos
As embryos grow from conception to birth, cells multiply rapidly and move in a highly organized way to form the skeleton, organs and other important systems. But how do the cells know to move in just ...
Researchers Discover Large Amounts of Non-Coding RNAs in Testes, Suggesting a New Role in Sperm Function and evolution
Researchers at the University of Toronto have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, also known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered many more lncRNAs in the tes...
Study on Fruit Flies Could Benefit Egg Cells of Older Women
A new study conducted on fruit flies provides the first evidence that oocytes - the cells that give rise to eggs - regularly rejuvenate the critical protein bonds that hold chromosomes together. The f...
Can Where You Live Affect Your Ability to Conceive?
It's no secret that many different factors can affect fertility. In addition to age, diet and hormonal imbalances, where you live can also play a role. Research shows that people who live in socioecon...
