2 studies: The first finds twins born after fertility treatment have a higher risk of problems
Twins born as a result of assisted reproductive technology (ART) are more likely to be admitted to neonatal intensive care and to be hospitalised in their first three years of life than spontaneously conceived twins view more (2009-05-21)
Deadly genetic disease prevented before birth in zebrafish
By injecting a customized "genetic patch" into early stage fish embryos, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis were able to correct a genetic mutation so the embryos developed normally. view more (2008-03-24)
'Fusion' protein found by Johns Hopkins researchers
Working with fruit flies, scientists at Johns Hopkins have discovered a protein required for two neighboring cells to fuse and become one "super cell." view more (2007-04-11)
Mayo Clinic researchers recommend embryo transfer delay for at-risk women
Mayo Clinic researchers have determined a method to achieve the best results for the mother's health and birth of a live baby for women who undergo in vitro fertilization who demonstrate risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. view more (2006-10-25)
Air dried sperm could allow home storage
Madrid, Spain: A novel method of preserving sperm through air drying is showing initial promise and has the potential to revolutionize sperm storage, allowing men awaiting in vitro fertilization (IVF) to take care of their sperm at home. Dr Daniel Imoedemhe, a consultant in reproductive medicine and endocrinology, working in Saudi Arabia, told the... view more... (2003-06-28)
Study fishes out new role for prostaglandins
Prostaglandins - the fat-derived compounds linked to pain, inflammation, reproduction and cancer - can add another biological function to their extensive catalog. view more (2006-01-03)
New report tackles controversial research into genes and behaviour
Embryos should not be selected for behavioural traits such as intelligence on the basis of genetic information, according to a Report published today (2 October) by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. The Report, Genetics and human behaviour: the ethical context, looks at ethical, legal and social issues that are raised by research into behavioural... view more... (2002-09-30)
Sperm created in the laboratory from embryonic stem cells produce viable progeny
Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that embryonic stem (ES) cells cultured in the laboratory can produce sperm with the capacity to produce viable offspring. view more (2006-07-12)
"Animals" grown from an artificial embryo
VIRTUAL creatures, with muscles, senses and primitive nervous systems, have been "grown" from artificial embryos in a computer simulation. The multi-celled organisms could be the first step towards using artificial evolution to create intelligent life from scratch. Each creature begins life as a single "embryo" cell, containing a string of random... view more... (2002-08-21)
Presentation of the "Document on the Freezing of Oocytes for Human Reproduction"
The Observatory of Bioethics and Law has made public its latest "Document on the Freezing of Oocytes for Human Reproduction", which upholds the authorisation of the cryopreservation of oocytes for use in assisted reproduction. The Document was drawn up by the Opinion Group of the Observatory of Bioethics and Law of the University of... view more... (2002-05-07)
Evolution can occur in less than 10 years
How fast can evolution take place? In just a few years, according to a new study on guppies led by UC Riverside's Swanne Gordon, a graduate student in biology. view more (2009-06-11)
Preeclampsia, fetal development problems may be linked to low levels of hormone
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ties low levels of a hormone secreted by the uterus and embryos to problems with pregnancy and fetal development. view more (2006-09-19)
Fish fend off invading germs with an initial response similar to the one found in people
Since the human response to infection is highly complex, research to understand how people fight infection is facilitated by studying how similar processes occur in simpler organisms. view more (2009-09-24)
Nutrition a major factor in rise in twin pregnancies
The commonly held view that IVF is the only culprit in the steady increase in the numbers of twins born over the past thirty years was challenged by a scientist speaking at the 22nd annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Prague, Czech Republic. view more (2006-06-21)
A twist of fate -- Reprogrammed fibroblasts resemble embryonic stem cells
Stem cell biology takes another exciting leap forward as scientists report that normal tissue cells can be reprogrammed to exhibit many of the properties that are characteristic of embryonic stem cells, including the ability to give rise to multiple cell types and contribute to the germline. view more (2007-06-07)
Using live fish, new tool a sentinel for environmental contamination
Researchers have harnessed the sensitivity of days-old fish embryos to create a tool capable of detecting a range of harmful chemicals. view more (2008-08-14)
Boston University biologists discover amphibian eggs use defenses against water molds
Boston University (BU) scientists have discovered that several species of amphibians use defense mechanisms to protect themselves against deadly water molds found in vernal pools of New England. view more (2006-10-23)
When evolution is not so slow and gradual
What's the secret to surviving during times of environmental change? Evolve-quickly. view more (2009-06-03)
Researchers capture bacterial infection on film
Whilst most studies of bacterial infection are done after the death of the infected organism, this system developed by scientists at the University of Bath and University of Exeter is the first to follow the progress of infection in real-time with living organisms. view more (2009-07-28)
Fruit fly gene research may shed light on human disease processes
Those small fruit flies buzzing around your bananas are more than pests—they may be allies in a fruitful search for clues to human diseases caused when genes malfunction. view more (2007-03-28)
