The Right Food Can Improve Fertility
Roasted red peppers, mini crab cakes and Brazil nuts can all help to increase fertility. They will all feature in a special Fertility Buffet, laid on by Dr Margaret Rayman, Director of the MSc Course in Nutritional Medicine at the University of Surrey, on 3 July 2003. A good, balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables (at least five portions a... view more... (2003-06-30)
Assisted reproduction provides bright future for HIV positive men - butseems less successful for women
Assisted reproduction can safely help HIV positive men to become fathers without infecting their partners, according to new research from French fertility experts. view more (2003-05-24)
Study links dietary folate intake to genetic abnormalities in sperm
Healthy men who report lower levels of the nutrient folate in their diets have higher rates of chromosomal abnormalities in their sperm, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. view more (2008-03-20)
Are men in danger of extinction?
Despite having had most of the social determinants of health in their favour, men have higher mortality rates for all 15 leading causes of death and have a life expectancy about seven years shorter than women's. An editorial in this week's BMJ asks are men in danger of extinction? Men's reluctance to embrace preventive strategies has also... view more... (2001-10-31)
Single molecular 'mark' seen as pivotal for genome compaction in spores and sperm
In higher order animals, genetic information is passed from parents to offspring via sperm or eggs, also known as gametes. In some single-celled organisms, such as yeast, the genes can be passed to the next generation in spores. view more (2006-09-18)
Calm before the spawn: Climate change and coral spawning
What's the point of setting up marine reserves to protect coral reefs from pollution, ship groundings and overfishing if climate change could cause far more damage? A study published this week in London in Proceedings of the Royal Society B provides the answer. view more (2009-11-04)
Opioids and cannabinoids influence mobility of spermatozoids
A PhD thesis from the University of the Basque Country has concluded that there are opioid and cannabinoid receptors in human sperm and that these influence the mobility of spermatozoid. view more (2008-06-23)
Thieving whale caught on video gives rare clues about hunting strategy, sound production
For decades scientists have been intrigued by the variety of sounds emitted by sperm whales, partly due to a popular theory that suggests that the sounds might contain information about the animals' size. view more (2009-05-22)
Study allays fears about the physical and psychological development of ICSI children
Lausanne, Switzerland: Children born with the help of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) appear to be developing normally, despite earlier concerns about their physical and psychological development, according to American researchers. Dr Gianpiero Palermo, from the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility at Cornell University, USA,... view more... (2001-07-01)
Study shows that genetic quality of sperm deteriorates as men age
New research indicates that the genetic quality of sperm worsens as men get older, increasing a man's risk of being infertile, fathering unsuccessful pregnancies and passing along dwarfism and possibly other genetic diseases to his children. view more (2006-06-06)
Smoking decreases men's chances of fatherhood by IVF and ICSI
Men who smoke reduce their chances of successfully fathering a child by either standard IVF techniques or by ICSI, according to research carried out in Germany. Dr Michael Zitzmann told the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology annual conference in Vienna that smoking altered the DNA of sperm and he believed this hampered the... view more...

Link between beef consumption during pregnancy and reduced sperm quality in sons
New research has shown that women who ate a lot of beef while pregnant had sons who were more likely to suffer from poor sperm quality as adults, and it suggests that the growth promoters used in cattle may play a role in these men's reduced fertility. view more (2007-03-28)
US researchers find first conclusive evidence that lead is linked to male infertility
US fertility experts today (Thursday 6 February) published the first conclusive evidence that lead is linked to male infertility. A report in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1] concludes that exposure to lead damages sperm function and may be a contributory cause of unexplained male infertility.[2] The findings... view more...

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)
Rise in ICSI cycles suggests infertility could be affecting more men than women
Infertility may be becoming more of a man's problem than a woman's problem according to new figures released at the 21st annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. view more (2005-06-22)
Gene breakthrough heralds better prospect for malaria solution
Scientists have made a major breakthrough in understanding the genetics of the insect parasite that is being targeted by researchers as a way of preventing the spread of malaria. view more (2006-07-25)
Cigarette smoke alters DNA in sperm, genetic damage could pass to offspring
The science has long been clear that smoking causes cancer, but new research shows that children could inherit genetic damage from a father who smokes. view more (2007-06-01)
Durable critters providing insight for human egg preservation
A tiny, six-legged critter that suspends all biological activity when the going gets tough may hold answers to a better way to cryopreserve human eggs, researchers say. view more (2006-12-19)
Why is Apert's syndrome so common when mutation rate is so low?
Aperts syndrome is a condition caused by a mutation that produces fused fingers and toes, and alters cranial development in affected children. view more (2007-08-28)
Not 1, but 2 kinds of males found in the invasive round goby
Scientists have found the existence of two types of males of a fiercely invasive fish spreading through the Great Lakes, which may provide answers as to how they rapidly reproduce. view more (2009-06-16)
