Improvement of the treatments against brucellosis and ovine salmonella
Maite Estevan Muguerza, a researcher of the University of Navarra, has improved existing treatments against brucellosis and sheep salmonella, by applying, in her doctoral thesis, techniques of micro- and nano-technology which permit the encapsulation of vaccines.   view more (2006-05-08)

Infertility treatment versus fertility control: the challenges for developing countries
Madrid, Spain: Infertile couples from developing countries face different challenges to the rest of the world. The national health policies and government resources of such countries place greatest emphasis on fertility control, with the result that they do not channel sufficient resources towards infertility issues and couples are being... view more...

Fertility drugs given 'all-clear' in new study
Concerns about the use of letrozole, an easy-to-use and inexpensive drug for the treatment of infertility, appear to be unfounded.   view more (2006-04-24)

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)

Risk of infertility in women triples after common inflammatory bowel disease surgery
The risk of infertility in women triples after the most major surgery for the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis, suggests research published ahead of print in the journal Gut.   view more (2006-06-14)

Infertility clinics are biased against patients with HIV
Infertility clinics are biased against patients infected with HIV, finds a study in this week's BMJ.   view more (2001-11-28)

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)

Fireflies and jellyfish help illuminate quest for cause of infertility
Genes taken from fireflies and jellyfish are literally shedding light on possible causes of infertility and autoimmune diseases in humans.   view more (2009-03-27)

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)

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)

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)

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)

UVa Scientists Discover New Human Protein Offering Clue To Immune Infertility in Men and Women
Most of us have never heard of immune infertility, yet it prevents many prospective parents from conceiving.   view more (2007-09-13)

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)

Accelerated Fertility Treatment Leads to Shortened Time to Pregnancy and Cost Savings
A major new trial recently published in the journal Fertility and Sterility shows that for couples beginning infertility treatments, an accelerated path to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) can offer a shorter time to pregnancy, cost savings of nearly $10,000, and a lowered risk of multiple births.    view more (2009-06-30)

European Urology: Male factor infertility associated with comorbidities

What to do with leftover embryos in fertility clinics?
The majority of infertility patients are in favor of using left-over embryos for stem cell research and would also support selling left-over embryos to other couples, according to a recent survey.   view more (2008-09-25)

Treating male infertility with stem cells
New research has examined the usefulness of bone marrow stem cells for treating male infertility, with promising results. The related report by Lue et al, "Fate of bone marrow stem cells transplanted into the testis: potential implication for men with testicular failure," appears in the March issue of The American Journal of Pathology.   view more (2007-03-02)

Study: Donated embryos could result in more than 2,000 new embryonic stem cell lines
In a survey of more than one thousand infertility patients with frozen embryos, 60 percent of patients report that they are likely to donate their embryos to stem cell research.   view more (2007-06-21)

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...
