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)
Maternal beef diet could impact sperm counts, UR study suggests
A mother's high beef consumption while pregnant was associated with lower sperm counts in her son, according to a study led by researchers at the University of Rochester. view more (2007-03-28)
Contraception: progress brings hope for new methods for men
For decades, pundits have predicted new contraceptives for men within the next 5 to 10 years. Are we really getting any closer? Judging from work presented today at the second "Future of Male Contraception" conference, the answer may finally be yes. view more (2007-09-28)
Diabetes linked to male infertility; excess sugars in the body have direct effect on sperm quality
Diabetes in men has a direct effect on fertility, a scientist told the 24th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today. view more (2008-07-09)
Crystallography reveals the 3-D structure of mammalian sperm receptor
Scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have determined the first 3D structure of ZP3, a protein essential for the interaction between the mammalian egg coat and sperm. view more (2008-12-05)
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)
Genital stimulation opens door for cryptic female choice in tsetse flies
By snipping off parts of male genitalia and reducing genital sensation in both male and female tsetse flies, researchers induced a suite of changes in female reproduction, including reduced ovulation, reduced sperm storage and increased re-mating attempts by the females. view more (2009-05-15)
Obese men have less semen, more sperm abnormalities, and should lose weight before trying for a baby
Obese men should consider losing weight if they want to have children, a scientist told the 24th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. view more (2008-07-09)
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...

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)
A twist in the tail - Leeds researchers show how sperm wriggle.
In a discovery with far-reaching potential for advances in infertility treatment, scientists at the University of Leeds have identified what makes sperm wriggle and swim. The answer lies in a protein called dynein. The scientists have taken the first photographs of individual molecules of dynein, also found in lungs, the nervous system and... view more... (2003-02-11)
Underwater listening devices yield discoveries about endangered large whales
Why whales emit their characteristic calls remains largely a biological mystery, but listening for the distinctive underwater sounds provides a valuable way to track the movements of endangered large whales. view more (2006-01-03)
Testicular tumors may explain why some diseases are more common in children of older fathers
A rare form of testicular tumour has provided scientists with new insights into how genetic changes (mutations) arise in our children. view more (2009-10-26)
Of mice and men: new male contraceptives successful in rodents and humans
Pills, sponges, IUDs, diaphragms-- women have many options for planning their fertility, none of them quite perfect. view more (2007-10-01)
Significantly higher success rates with artificial insemination
In future a new method could help some couples who are childless against their will. The microscopic procedure significantly improves the success rate of 'ICSI' (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). view more (2008-02-07)
New male contraceptive targets sperm, not hormones
Men and women have long been promised a male version of the female contraceptive pill. But the first new male contraceptive to market may not be hormonal at all. view more (2006-05-08)
