Researchers often use a nematode worm called Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) to study human genetics .. | Cell And ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered a complex biological process that protects germ cells, the precursor cells to sperm, from genetic ...

New insights into a sophisticated process that protects sperm cells has revealed a mechanism, similar to an immune system, thwarts genetic chaos during the earliest stages of their development.

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 ...

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 ...

A new study shows that lab-grown sperm cells can be derived from stem cells. July 9, 2009 — -- The face of infertility-- in literature, in the media, in advocacy groups -- is so predominantly ...

(BOSTON) — More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care ...

A study finds that brief immune stress in male mice can leave lasting metabolic and behavioral effects in offspring through ...
