Two new studies uncover how DNA folding controls sperm cell development. Researchers identified proteins that rearrange genomic architecture, setting cellular memory and fate. This 3D genome mapping ...

Lab-produced sperm could revolutionize fertility care. It might one day offer a solution to men who have undergone failed SSR ...

Researchers have identified an enzyme essential for the process of male meiosis, the type of cell division that produces sperm. The protein, SKP1, controls one of the key transitions in meiosis.

While using a light microscope to study sperm formation in wasps, Henking noticed that some wasp sperm cells had 12 chromosomes, while others had only 11 chromosomes. Also, during his observation ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

The behavior of sperm cells is due, in part, to the individual DNA make-up of these cells, rather than only to the genetics of males, finds a team of scientists. Its results, which provide a new ...

Sperm cells are known to prefer cooler temperatures. For quite some time, a puzzling question for scientists has been: how do temperature-sensitive swimmers actually operate effectively within the ...

Next, she identifies a sperm with a mix of abnormalities and warns that agglutination—when sperm cells stick together ... midpiece, tail formation and length, is key when it comes to good ...

His parents enrolled him in a study that was collecting and storing immature testicular tissue, and the sperm-forming stem cells in them, from young patients with the goal of eventually giving ...
