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. Endometriosis and infertility are known to be associated, but it is not known whether endometriosis causes infertility. Ovrang... view more... (2002-10-16)
Double identities lie behind chromosome disorders
Chromosome disorders in sex cells cause infertility, miscarriage and irregular numbers of chromosomes (aneuploidy) in neonates. A new study from Karolinska Institutet published in the scientific journal Nature Genetics shows how chromosome disorders can arise when sex cells are formed. view more (2007-07-09)
GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFERTILITY (p 1336)
In women, unsuccessful attachment and implantation of fertilised eggs (embryos) to the lining of the womb (endometrium), resulting in infertility, could be influenced by variation of a specific gene, conclude authors in a preliminary study described in a research letter in this week's issue of the Lancet. The failure of embryo implantation is... view more... (2001-04-25)
Small RNAs can play critical roles in male infertility/contraception
University of Nevada School of Medicine scientists in the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology have discovered insight into the reproductive workings of the male sex chromosome that may have significant implications for male infertility and contraception. view more (2009-04-10)
University of Leicester to be Part of International 'Network of Excellence' in Fertility Research
A University of Leicester scientist has been awarded almost EUR200 000 (about £130,000) by the EU to help establish an international consortium for fertility research. view more (2005-03-16)
Doubts Raised Over Patient Access To Quality Fertility Treatment
A survey of Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) launched today at the National Infertility, reveals widespread confusion as to what commissioning fertility services actually means and who should be taking responsibility. Feedback from over 50 PCTs in England highlights issues relating to eligibility for treatment, quality of service and barriers to... view more... (2004-06-11)
Fertility treatment in developing countries; a cycle of IVF for less than $200
After 30 years of IVF, the rewards of treatment are still largely confined to industrialised countries and those who can afford it. view more (2008-07-08)
NIH-funded researchers transform embryonic stem cells into human germ cells
Researchers funded in part by the National Institutes of Health have discovered how to transform human embryonic stem cells into germ cells, the embryonic cells that ultimately give rise to sperm and eggs. view more (2009-10-29)
X-Effect: Female Chromosome Confirmed a Prime Driver of Speciation
Researchers at the University of Rochester believe they have just confirmed a controversial theory of evolution. The X chromosome is a strikingly powerful force in the origin of new species. view more (2007-10-18)
Male infertility: Scientists discover candidate gene for impaired spermatogenesis
Lausanne, Switzerland: Researchers in the Netherlands believe they have identified a gene that is involved in causing infertility in men. Dr Judith Gianotten told the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology annual meeting in Lausanne today (Wednesday 4 July) that the ZNF214 gene is probably a candidate gene for impaired... view more...

Obesity in men linked to infertility
Men with increased body mass index (BMI) were significantly more likely to be infertile than normal-weight men. view more (2006-09-01)
Penn Researchers Identify First Sex Chromosome Gene Involved in Meiosis and Male Infertility
A team of scientists led by University of Pennsylvania veterinary researchers have identified a gene, TEX11, located on the X chromosome, which when disrupted in mice renders the males sterile and reduces female fecundity. This is the first study of the genetic causes of infertility that links a particular sex chromosome meiosis-specific gene to... view more... (2008-03-17)
Evolutionary phenomenon in mice may explain human infertility
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found that field mice have evolved a unique way of ensuring faster fertilisation, a phenomenon which could explain some cases of infertility in humans. view more (2008-01-23)
Human induced plurtipotent stem cells reprogrammed into germ cell precursors
For the first time, UCLA researchers have reprogrammed human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into the cells that eventually become eggs and sperm, possibly opening the door for new treatments for infertility using patient-specific cells. view more (2009-01-27)
Human clones could be ticking time bombs, warns ethics expert
Lausanne, Switzerland: Cloning of adults or children for reproductive reasons should be ruled out completely until researchers have discovered ways of counter-acting the health risks associated with the procedure, an expert on the ethics of cloning said today (Wednesday 4 July). Dr Guido de Wert, a senior research fellow in Biomedical Ethics from... view more... (2001-07-04)
Gene defects could be new cause of male infertility
Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have identified a gene crucial to the final step of the formation of a functional sperm cell. view more (2007-10-18)
Household chemicals may be linked to infertility
Researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health have found the first evidence that perfluorinated chemicals, or PFCs - chemicals that are widely used in everyday items such as food packaging, pesticides, clothing, upholstery, carpets and personal care products - may be associated with infertility in women. view more (2009-02-02)
Media invitation: "Life before and life after IVF": experts coming from all Mediterranean countries meet in Cannes to discuss ethical aspects and new frontiers in reproductive medicine
Experts of different fields in medicine and coming from every corner of Mediterranean area, will meet in Cannes from April 21st to April 23rd in occasion of the congress "Life before and life after IVF", organized by the Mediterranean Society for Reproductive Medicine (MSRM). The aim of the meeting is discussing new perspectives and hot... view more... (2005-04-15)
Human sperm created from embryonic stem cells
Human sperm have been created using embryonic stem cells for the first time in a scientific development which will lead researchers to a better understanding of the causes of infertility. view more (2009-07-08)
New discovery may help doctors treat infertility
New research suggests that medications commonly referred to as fertility drugs may be ineffective for women who lack a gene called the estrogen receptor beta. view more (2005-07-21)
