Scientists found that the hormone secretoneurin helps key reproductive brain cells develop by being delivered between neurons in tiny exosomes. This mechanism, seen in fish and mice, could help ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

Progress in the in vitro derivation of human gametes (eggs and sperm) continues to advance. In vitro–derived gametes are generated using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) through a process called “in ...

Despite the fact that we all start out as an egg cell in one of our mother's ovaries, these human reproductive organs are surprisingly under-studied. Scientists have been working on creating in vitro ...

From invisible wafts of diesel exhaust to sun-choking plumes of orange smoke, air pollution is known to damage respiratory well-being. Now, research suggests another reason to hold our breath: ...

Human reproductive cloning is currently the subject of much debate around the world, involving a variety of ethical, religious, societal, scientific, and medical issues. This report from the National ...

Scientists have detected microplastics in human semen and follicular fluid, the liquid that surrounds an egg in an ovarian follicle. "This is not an isolated finding –– it appears to be quite common," ...

New research reveals the presence of microplastics in human reproductive fluids, raising important questions about their potential risks to fertility and reproductive health European Society of Human ...
