Microgravity is disorienting, even for sperm cells. Some of the world’s wealthiest and most influential people remain deadset ...

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 ...

A trip to space could very well leave human male sperm stumbling about in the dark, chasing their tails. Researchers at ...

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 ...

Space is big, empty, and apparently very confusing if you’re a sperm cell. According to a new study from the University of ...

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 ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...

A colony of human embryonic stem cells is seen on a computer monitor at the University of Wisconsin–MadisonDarren Hauck / Getty Researchers at Newcastle University in England report they have coaxed ...

Monash researchers have discovered that swimming sperm create swirling fluid vortices—shaped like rolling corkscrews—giving them an extra boost in the race to the egg. The study, published in Cell ...
