New research links placenta praevia directly to assisted reproductive techniques
Norwegian researchers have found the first evidence that techniques used in assisted reproduction (ART) may be directly linked to an increase in placenta praevia - a potentially dangerous condition in which the placenta covers, or partially covers the cervix, blocking the baby's passage into the birth canal. view more (2006-05-25)
Success comes at a cost, even for phages
As many a mother may tell you, expending the energy necessary to raise a clutch of kids can shave years off one's life. Trade-offs between reproductive success and survival have been demonstrated for a wide variety of organisms, in keeping with life history theory. view more (2006-06-13)
The results are in: Bacterial parasite strives for balance in host infection
When horror-movie writers run out of ideas, they can always turn to parasites. Imagine the possibilities with flesh-eating bacteria, suicide-inducing hairworms, scalp burrowing botflies—and castrating parasites. view more (2006-05-30)
Children born after PGD as healthy as those born after conventional IVF treatment
Children born after embryo biopsy for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) do not show any more major malformations than those born after artificial reproduction technologies (ART) without PGD. view more (2007-06-18)
The species that propagate slowly, become extinct sooner
The animals and plants of our planet are becoming extinct under the pressure of civilization. The scientists have counted that one species vanishes from Earth every hour. The mammoth, passenger pigeon, gare-fowl, Steller`s sea cow - these are the most well-known of extinct species, but hundreds of species are next in turn. Can the scientists... view more...

The Total Solar Eclipse at ESO HQ (August 11, 1999)
The zone of totality was about 108 km wide and the ESO HQ were located only 8 km south of the line of maximum totality. The duration of the phase of totality was about 2 min 17 sec. view more (1999-08-18)
Bread mold may hold secret to eliminating disease-causing genes
When most people discover mold on their bread, they immediately throw it out. Others see a world of possibilities in the tiny fungus. A University of Missouri scientist, along with a collaborative research team, has examined a new mechanism in the reproductive cycle of a certain species of mold. view more (2008-05-09)
Germans Must Research The History Of Reproductive Medicine During The Nazi Era Or Face Uncertainty In The Future
Researching the history of reproductive medicine during the Nazi era is still taboo, a leading German professor will tell the 20th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today (Monday 28 June). However, it is vital that such research is conducted, because if Germans do not understand what motivated the... view more... (2004-06-25)
High protein diet may be bad for women trying to conceive
A moderately high protein diet could reduce a woman's chances of becoming pregnant, according to new research presented at the 20th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today on Monday 28 June. Researchers from the USA have found that a diet containing 25% protein disrupted the normal genetic imprinting... view more... (2004-06-28)
Baby born from sperm frozen for record 21 years
UK researchers writing in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1], today (Tuesday 25 May) report what they believe to be a world record - a baby born using sperm that had been frozen for 21 years. "We believe this is the longest period of sperm cryopreservation resulting in a live birth so far reported in the... view more... (2004-05-23)
Couples with fertility problems where the man is over 35 have increased difficulty in conceiving
Pregnancy rates decrease and miscarriages increase when a father is over 35 years of age, a scientist will tell the 24th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. view more (2008-07-07)
Rare example of Darwinism seen in action
A research team, including UC Riverside biologists, has found experimental evidence that supports a controversial theory of genetic conflict in the reproduction of those animals that support their developing offspring through a placenta. view more (2007-08-01)
New research reveals unexpected post-mating gene expression in model lab insect
That cloud of tiny flies hovering around spoiled fruit isn't just a nuisance. In fact, what science calls Drosophila melanogaster is more and more the key to intricate genetic studies that shed light on numerous biological processes, especially reproduction. view more (2006-06-28)

Australian researchers will today launch the world first detailed map of the kangaroo genome, completing the first phase of the kangaroo genomics project. view more (2008-11-18)
Drugs needed to preserve eggs for reproduction need to be given in stages
Cryoprotectants needed to preserve eggs for reproduction need to be given in stages, albeit rapid ones, say scientists who have developed a mathematical model that predicts optimal time for loading and unloading these drugs. view more (2009-04-30)

New test spares couples with familial cancer the trauma of termination
A new way of sparing couples the trauma of having to decide between having a baby with a high risk of developing a form of colorectal cancer later in life, or terminating the pregnancy. view more (2006-06-20)
Drug used to treat skin conditions is a marine pollutant
Clotrimazole is a common ingredient in over-the-counter skin creams. Recent results from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, now show that it is associated with major environmental risks. view more (2009-03-24)
Indigenous water frogs under threat
Indigenous water frogs can be crowded out by immigrant or imported species. This is the finding of a Franco-German study. The scientists investigated water frog populations in France and Northern Spain and noticed that the marsh frog (Rana ridibunda), which normally occurs only in Eastern Europe, has the potential to crowd out indigenous species... view more...

Differences between boys and girls show less than three weeks into pregnancy
Female embryos exert a greater influence than male embryos over the hormone that nurtures early pregnancy, and the difference can be detected as little as 16 days after conception, according to new research published (Wednesday 30 January) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction.* Israeli scientists have demonstrated... view more...
