Millions of couples worldwide experience infertility with half of the cases originating in men. For 10% of infertile males, little or no sperm are produced. Now, new research from the Stowers ...

Investigators have employed mutant mice to study how the accumulation of genetic errors is managed during egg and sperm formation. Sometimes the best way to understand a biological process is to ...

The human body is full of checks and balances that ensure correct growth, development, and function of all our different systems. Now, researchers from Japan have reported a newly discovered protein ...

Researchers are delving into the molecular-level details of sperm formation, with a particular focus on how abnormalities in this process might lead to male-factor infertility. Sperm play a critical ...

Stowers scientists collaborate to uncover one underlying reason for male infertility. The study published on October 20, 2023, in Science Advances from the Hawley Lab and Wellcome Centre Investigator ...

Men who do not produce sperm can’t be helped by existing fertility treatments, but a start-up is now claiming it can grow ...

Sperm are often described as relentless swimmers, racing toward the egg with little strategy beyond movement. But fertilisation is not a sprint. It is a sequence of controlled activations, delays, and ...
