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)
Pregnancies from frozen eggs may help couples trapped by Italian law
Berlin, Germany: Five children have been born conceived from previously isolated and frozen egg cells, Italian scientists announced today (Wednesday 30 June 2004) at the 20th annual conference of the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology. The method bears great promise for patients who live in countries where embryo... view more... (2004-06-29)
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)
Time is not on the side of older dads
University of Queensland research has revealed the older a dad is the more likely his children will have reduced cognitive abilities. view more (2009-03-10)
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

First case of successful ovarian tissue transplantation between two, nonidentical sisters
A woman, whose ovaries had failed due to damage caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, has received a successful ovarian transplant from her genetically non-identical sister. view more (2007-08-02)
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)
Algae is the key to unlock billion dollar industries
Some of the world's leading scientists are rubbing shoulders with experts at the University of Abertay Dundee to study tiny plant-like organisms that could unlock billion dollar industries for Europe. Representatives from famous European universities and research centres, including the renowned Pasteur Institute in Paris and the Czech Academy of... view more... (2002-01-23)
