Sperm Cells

It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique known as "in vitro gametogenesis". This involves the creation (genesis) of eggs and sperm (gametes) outside the human body.

The radiofrequency electromagnetic fields are greatly reduced when texting, downloading large files, and streaming audio and videos.

Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.

Stem cells can be used to create a "synthetic embryo" without using a sperm, eggs, or a womb, according to scientists. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science were able to create an artificial embryo using only stem celll from mice. These synthetic embryos grew normally until day 8.5 when the early organ progenitors are formed such as hear...

Researchers have successfully cloned mice using a technique that could be used to help conserve species that are threatened with extinction because of human-induced impacts like climate change. Scientists at Japan's University of Yamanashi attempted to freeze-dry somatic cells (any cell that isn't a sperm or egg cell) and successfully created 75 cl...

Zinc has beneficial effects as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, and could prevent or mitigate the damage in the egg and sperm cells that result from the body's immune reaction to the virus, believe experts.

One way that heat kills is by increasing pressure in the skull, constricting blood flow to the brain. Damaged tissue can also enter the bloodstream and cause kidney failure. At a certain point, an elevated internal temperature simply incinerates cells in the body.

Sperm swims up a chemical gradient to reach the egg, assisted by a pulsatile rise in calcium ion concentration in the sperm tail that controls its beating.

Nutrition has an important role to play when it comes to male fertility. Take a look.

Overuse of cell phones can lead to an increased risk of brain cancer, acoustic nerve tumours, low sperm count and adverse effects on your cognitive development. Here's how you can protect yourself.

Just some basic things that you tend to perform without knowing the repercussions of it can lead to infertility. Take a look at some of the basic causes of infertility.

Common ultraviolet (UV)-filtering chemicals used in sunscreens, makeup, moisturisers and lip balms may interfere with the function of human sperm cells, according to a new study that may account for unexplained male infertility.

Using embryonic stem cells from mice, Chinese scientists reported today they have created functioning sperm, which was injected into female mice eggs and resulted in normal, fertile offspring.

Scientists attached tiny metal helices to sperm cells that can aid poor swimmers to reach an egg, an advance that could improve fertility treatments.

The world's oldest sperm cells preserved in a tiny cocoon in Antarctica for a whopping 50 million years have been recovered by researchers, a scientific journal has reported.
