Millions of sperm do not always compete alone—some species send them into action as coordinated teams. A sweeping ...

Fertilization is often imagined as a frantic race, with millions of sperm competing for a single prize. But new research by a team of evolutionary biologists from Syracuse University, the University ...

Once a sperm has broken through to an egg cell in order to fertilize it, the two cells need to hold together tightly. This occurs via a type of protein binding that is among the strongest in ...

A novel screening system enables researchers to investigate sperm cell development and health at the molecular level. The new approach promises breakthroughs in male contraception and infertility ...

Generational wounds may live in our genes. New research suggests that childhood trauma leads to a difference in the epigenetics of a sperm cell, which can impact a child's development and also be ...

A novel screening system developed at Kyoto University enables researchers to investigate sperm cell development and health at the molecular level. The new approach, published in Cell Genomics, ...
