European experts slam new Italian fertility proposals: "Disaster for women" says ESHRE chairman
Vienna, Austria: Fertility experts meeting in Vienna today (Saturday 29 June) attacked proposals by the Lower House of the Italian Parliament that could encourage multiple pregnancies. They have described the proposals as "unethical" and are seriously worried that they will put women and their babies at risk. Members of the Italian Lower... view more... (2002-06-29)
Newborn weights affected by environmental contaminants
Recent epidemiological studies have revealed an increase in the frequency of genital malformations in male newborns (e.g., un-descended testes) and a decrease in male fertility. view more (2009-06-16)
Corn Yield Stability Varies with Rotations, Fertility
Understanding temporal variability in crop yields has implications for sustainable crop production, particularly since greater fluxes in crop yields are projected with global climate change. view more (2009-07-22)
Study shows that genetic quality of sperm deteriorates as men age
New research indicates that the genetic quality of sperm worsens as men get older, increasing a man's risk of being infertile, fathering unsuccessful pregnancies and passing along dwarfism and possibly other genetic diseases to his children. view more (2006-06-06)
Stress Is Founded To Be Associated With Hyperprolactinemia
A group of Italian investigators headed by Nicoletta Sonino (University of Padova) has performed the first controlled investigation on the relationship between stressful life events and an endocrine disease characterized by increased prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia). Little is known about the relationship between recent life events and onset... view more... (2004-07-20)
Fewer wrinkles and firmer skin linked to earlier use of estrogen therapy
Long-term hormone estrogen therapy used earlier in menopause is associated with fewer wrinkles and less skin rigidity in postmenopausal women, Yale School of Medicine researchers report in the August issue of Fertility and Sterility. view more (2005-08-29)
UWE develops detectors for oestrogen in river water
Small quantities of oestrogens, which are female hormones, are excreted from the body and thus enter the sewage system. Although these chemicals seem to be largely removed in sewage treatment, it seems that minute quantities remain and thus can enter rivers to which treated sewage is discharged. These very low levels of oestrogens have been... view more... (2001-08-14)
More confusion over cellphone safety
UK CONTACT - Claire Bowles, New Scientist Press Office, London: Tel: +44(0)20 7331 2751 or email claire.bowles@rbi.co.uk Written by Duncan Graham-Rowe THE safety of cellphones has been brought into question once again by research that suggests radio waves from the devices could promote the growth of tumours. Paradoxically, the study suggests that... view more... (2002-10-24)
Eating ice cream may help women to conceive, but low-fat dairy foods may increase infertility risk
Drinking whole fat milk and eating ice cream appears to be better for women trying to become pregnant than a diet consisting of low-fat dairy products such as skimmed milk and yoghurt. view more (2007-02-28)
Opioids and cannabinoids influence mobility of spermatozoids
A PhD thesis from the University of the Basque Country has concluded that there are opioid and cannabinoid receptors in human sperm and that these influence the mobility of spermatozoid. view more (2008-06-23)
Tufts University biologists link Huntington's disease to health benefits in young
For years researchers in neurology have believed that people with Huntington's disease have more children than the general population because of behavioral changes associated with the disease that lead to sexual promiscuity. view more (2007-09-26)
Mouse stem cell line advance suggests potential for IVF-incompetent eggs
Researchers have found that mouse oocytes that fail to become fertilized during in vitro fertilization are nevertheless often capable of succeeding as "cytoplasmic donors" during a subsequent cloning step using so-called nuclear transfer. view more (2007-02-20)
Single embryo transfer - a new understanding of factors for success
Berlin, Germany: Transferring a single embryo to a woman can result in a similar number of pregnancies as double embryo transfer, while at the same time reducing the risk of multiple births and the complications due to twin pregnancies, a scientist said today at the 20th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and... view more...

Is there really a 'mommy' gene in women?
Basic principles of biology rather than women's newfound economic independence can explain why fewer of them are getting married and having children, and why the trend may only be temporary, says a Queen's researcher. view more (2007-09-24)
Caesareans could make it more difficult to have other children
Women having their babies by caesarean section could find it harder to become pregnant later, a study has found. Researchers in Bristol have discovered that once women have had a caesarean and then try to get pregnant again, the risk of it taking more than a year to conceive another baby increases. The seven thousand women were all part of the... view more... (2002-07-02)
ESHRE continues ban on human reproductive cloning
"Irresponsible and unethical" says ESHRE The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, which represents more than 4,000 international fertility experts, has renewed its moratorium on the cloning of human babies. The organisation first took a decision in 1999 to implement a five-year voluntary moratorium on reproductive cloning when it... view more... (2003-06-29)
