A gut microbiota-derived antioxidant metabolite, 2,8-dihydroxyquinoline, reverses oligoasthenozoospermia in mice by binding ...

Researchers at VIB, VUB and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (UK) have discovered a hidden feature of human sperm cells. Using advanced imaging technologies, they ...

Researchers have decoded a long-standing mystery of how flowering plants ensure their sperm cells successfully reach the egg for fertilization, according to a recent study published in the journal ...

Researchers have created steerable microrobots made from bull sperm cells. They were coated in magnetic nanoparticles and then piloted through a 3D printed replica of a female reproductive system. The ...

A novel screening system enables researchers to investigate sperm cell development and health at the molecular level. The new approach promises breakthroughs in male contraception and infertility ...

About 9% of men of reproductive age in the United States experience fertility problems. One of the many causes of male infertility is a failure in germline development, the process by which embryonic ...

When sperm cells race to the grand prize of an unfertilized egg, the rule is always "every man for himself"—or so biologists have assumed. But Harry Moore of the University of Sheffield in England ...
