Women with a history of endometriosis have higher levels of cadmium in their urine than women without this diagnosis. This is according to a study by Michigan State University, which suggests that the...
Atlas of the Human Ovary With Resolution at Cell Level is a Step Towards an Artificial Ovary
Most human eggs never have the chance to mature into eggs, a recent study sheds light on why. A new "atlas" of the human ovary provides insights that could lead to treatments that restore ovarian horm...
Chlamydia in Testicular Tissue is Linked to Male Infertility
The potential impact of an undetected sexually transmitted chlamydial infection on men's fertility has been identified in a study conducted by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), which for ...
Researchers Discover Protein Interactions that Control Fertility in Female Mice
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shed light on the proteins that control ovarian development in mice before and after birth. This could lead to a better understanding of the cause of fe...
New Discovery Reveals How the Egg Controls Sperm Entry
After the egg cell has been fertilized by a sperm, the surrounding egg shell tightens and thus mechanically prevents the penetration of further sperm and the associated death of the embryo. This is ac...
How the Sperm Microbiome Influences Male Fertility
You may have heard of the gut microbiome and its influence on a person's overall health and well-being. It turns out the same could be true for the sperm microbiome. According to researchers at UCLA's...
Treatment of Infertility: Transformation of a Skin Cell Into an Egg Cell That Can Produce Viable Embryos
New research describes the science behind a promising technique to treat infertility by turning a skin cell into an egg that can produce viable embryos. This technique could be used in women of advanc...
Egg Cells Neutralize Protein Aggregates That Impair Female Fertility
The accumulation of misfolded or damaged proteins in long-lived, non-dividing cells such as neurons is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. A study now shows that th...
