Rong Li Lab demonstrates the process of mammalian egg maturation
he Rong Li lab team has answered an important question about how mammalian eggs undergo maturation through an intricate process of asymmetric cell division. The team discovered a novel pathway by which chromatin exerts command on the cell membrane to produce a specialized machinery used for cell division. view more (2007-02-06)
Reproductive tourism: Italy faces 'womb drain' as ART becomes better and safer in other European countries
Vienna, Austria: Fertility experts meeting in Vienna are warning that Italy risks facing a "womb drain" as Italian women start going to other countries for safer and more effective assisted reproduction. At present "reproductive tourists" travel to Italy to take advantage of its lack of regulations for IVF techniques, but this... view more... (2002-07-01)
Wildlife researchers identify impacts of contamination in amphibians
Bill Hopkins, fisheries and wildlife associate professor in Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources, and colleagues doing research at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and in the field, have demonstrated that amphibians are exposed to contaminants through maternal transfer, as has been proven for other vertebrates. view more (2006-02-22)
Chlamydia In Men Now Also Linked To Infertility - New Findings
Chlamydia infection in women has been known for some time to be linked to infertility, but Swedish research published today (Thursday 29 April) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1] has found evidence that infection in men can also lessen the chance of their partners becoming pregnant. A team from Ume'å... view more... (2004-04-26)
Soy foods are associated with lower sperm concentrations
Men who eat an average of half a serving of soy food a day have lower concentrations of sperm than men who do not eat soy foods, according to research published online in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction, today (Thursday 24 July). The association was particularly marked in men who were overweight or obese, the... view more... (2008-07-24)
Increased environmental carbon levels - the good news!
Increasing carbon levels can be a good thing in some cases: scientists at the University of Durham propose that higher levels of inorganic carbon can have a positive influence on human health. view more (2006-04-03)
Human embryonic stem cells have the potential to develop into eggs and sperm in the laboratory
Scientists in the UK have proved that human embryonic stem cells can develop in the laboratory into the early forms of cells that eventually become eggs or sperm. view more (2005-06-20)
Behavioural therapy can restore ovulation in infertile women
Fertility can be restored in some women by the use of behavioural therapy, thus avoiding recourse to expensive medicines and complex procedures, a scientist told the 22nd annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Prague, Czech Republic on Tuesday 20 June 2006. view more (2006-06-20)
New method of testing eggs for abnormalities could solve problems of embryo freezing
Italian researchers have shown for the first time that it is possible to test a woman's egg, before fertilisation, for chromosomal abnormalities that might make an embryo less likely to implant successfully or more likely to miscarry at a later stage. view more (2006-06-19)
