In-Vitro Gametogenesis (IVG) is a groundbreaking reproductive technology that could change the future of assisted reproduction. It involves the conversion of ordinary stem cells—obtained from your ...

While females of many animal species, including humans, live longer on average than their male counterparts, the reason remained a mystery—but a group of scientists from Osaka University may have ...

A team of scientists at the University of Seville has identified an essential process that protects DNA integrity in reproductive cells, providing new clues about how organisms avoid genetic defects ...

A team of researchers from the US has turned DNA from human skin cells into "functional" eggs, which were able to be fertilised by sperm in a lab. While only around 10 per cent of the fertilised eggs ...

U.S. scientists have entered into the first clinical trial of extracting stem cells that create sperm and implanting them back into the body to induce sperm production. It appears that a path to ...

Scientists studying tiny roundworms have uncovered how the secrets of a long life can be passed from parents to their offspring — without changing DNA. The discovery shows that when certain cellular ...

It’s not just about chromosomes. Or reproductive cells. Or any other binary metric. Many genetic, environmental and developmental variations can produce what are thought of as masculine and feminine ...

Early lab work shows reprogrammed skin cells can yield embryos, hinting at future infertility solutions but raising safety questions that demand more study. Infertility affects millions of people ...

Human skin cells may one day be used to create functional human eggs in a step toward helping women have their own genetic children when their natural eggs are dysfunctional, according to very early ...

Semen is a fluid that carries sperm, or male reproductive cells, out of the body during ejaculation. The average amount of ...
