New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

The latest study from the Sharma Lab makes the mechanisms of how epigenetic information is established in sperm cells, and how that encoding affects offspring health, a little less of a scientific ...

Paterna Biosciences says it has determined the set of instructions needed to turn sperm-making stem cells into "normal, mature" sperm.

Human sperm have long been a subject of fascination—not just for their role in fertilization, but for their remarkable ability to navigate through some of the most viscous environments in the body.

There are many potential causes of infertility, and it can be challenging to pin down just what the problem is when a couple is having trouble getting pregnant. Now, researchers show that a few key ...

Gene expression related to fertilization, sperm motility, and sperm structure in the testes of Tle6 -deficient mice showed an overall increase. Together, the findings of this study highlighted the ...

Sperm cells move through fluids that should stop them almost instantly, yet new research suggests they succeed by exploiting unusual properties of active living matter.

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...
