New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...
Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...
Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by ...
Researchers at Newcastle University in England report they have coaxed the first human sperm cells from embryonic stem cells, in a remarkable demonstration of how quickly the field of stem-cell ...
Researchers at the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences have discovered that a little-known protein called ATF7IP2 helps to inactivate the X and Y chromosomes during cell divisions that lead to ...
Could temperature be the real trigger behind male fertility? A new study from Washington University in St. Louis suggests exactly that—and its findings could reshape our understanding of how life ...
Fathers may carry traces of their childhood trauma in their sperm cells, a new study finds. The new research, published Jan. 3 in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, looked at the "epigenetics" of the ...
Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...
