Study reveals surge in male-factor infertility technique
A national study reveals that the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection or ICSI -- an assisted reproductive technology used to treat male-factor infertility -- has increased dramatically in the United States since 1995, while the proportion of patients receiving treatment for male-factor infertility has remained stable. view more (2007-07-19)
Fertility drugs given 'all-clear' in new study

Researchers set standard for male fertility
Researchers in Leeds and the USA have developed a ‘gold standard’ for fertile sperm, in a major step towards understanding male infertility. In an article published in The Lancet, (pp772 06/09/2002) the researchers explain how they analysed genetic fingerprints from a range of sperm samples. Sperm cells have a complex genetic... view more... (2002-09-06)

Proteins in sperm unlock understanding of male infertility says new study
Proteins found in sperm are central to understanding male infertility and could be used to determine new diagnostic methods and fertility treatments according to a paper published by the journal Molecular and Cellular Proteomics (MCP). view more (2008-10-09)
USC researchers explore genetic causes for male infertility
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) suggest epigenetics, or the way DNA is processed and expressed, may be the underlying cause for male infertility. The study will be published in the Dec. 12 issue of Public Library of Science One. view more (2007-12-12)

Fertility patients may benefit from revolutionary womb transplant surgery
Revolutionary surgery in womb transplants may give hope to patients with fertility problems. Infertility is an increasing problem in the western world and it is estimated that around 15% of all couples are infertile. Most causes of infertility are today treatable by in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and sperm injection (ICSI), but infertility due to a... view more... (2002-08-20)
Preliminary Study Suggests Endomitriosis Could Contribute To Infertility
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide preliminary evidence which suggests that the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis may play a significant role in reducing fertility.
