Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein. In the last ...

Typically, female mouse embryos with two X chromosomes develop ovaries because a gene called Sox9 is suppressed. In male ...

Mutant sperm-factories spread in men's testicles as they age to increase the risk of children with genetic diseases, researchers have shown. Millions of spermatogonia produce a constant supply of ...

A team of researchers has reported a breakthrough in making sperm cell precursors in vitro that could be used in a number of ...

Researchers say they have found a way to pluck out a potent type of stem cell from the testes of adult mice and transform it into other kinds of tissue, including heart muscle and blood vessels. The ...

A small study of deceased nonvaccinated men who died of COVID-19 complications suggests the testes may be a sanctuary for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, raising questions about potential consequences for ...

Researchers have located one more anatomical organ where microplastics — of all shapes and constituents — are found: human testes. And although they can’t say for sure, they suspect the presence of ...

Scientists have succeeded in isolating stem cells from human testes. The cells bear a striking resemblance to embryonic stem cells -- they can differentiate into each of the three main types of ...

Dr Mark Green receives funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council, as well as the University of Melbourne for his research on fertility and endocrine disruptors. He is the Secretary ...
