Researchers at Crick have discovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate sperm development and affect fertility in male mice. This research could help to understand why some men do not produce en...
Obesity is a major global health issue and continues to rise. In addition to a variety of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, obesity is also associated with reduced sperm qu...
A groundbreaking study led by University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus researchers led by Nickole Moon, PhD, first author of the study and a student at CU Anschutz who is part of the research te...
During sperm production, an enormous amount of DNA has to be packed into a very small space without breaking anything. Certain proteins around which the DNA thread is wrapped - the protamines - play a...
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...
Men around the world are suffering from deteriorating sperm quality, often referred to as a real fertility crisis. But there is good news: In a clinical study, researchers from the University of Copen...
A new approach by scientists at Kyoto University, published in Cell Genomics, promises a breakthrough in contraception and the treatment of male infertility. The study, led by Professor Jun Suzuki of ...
A number of recent studies have found that microplastics are present in virtually everything we consume, from bottled water to meat and plant-based foods. Since the early 1950s, global plastic consump...
