A study of nearly 3,000 Swiss men over the course of 13 years has shown a link between frequent cell phone use and a decrease in sperm quantity. What’s more, today’s 4G and 5G networks may have less of an impact than older communications technology.Con… Continue reading Higher cell phone usage associated with lower sperm count in new study
Researchers have found that a naturally occurring compound enhanced fertility in older female mice by reversing age-related reproductive cell decline, causing them to produce larger litters. The discovery could one day aid in developing treatments to i… Continue reading Naturally occurring anti-aging compound enhances fertility in older mice
In what might be a surprise for some, the male sex chromosome is far more complex than its female counterpart. This is why it’s taken scientists so long to work out exactly what makes a male a male.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Genome… Continue reading After a long search, scientists finally find out what’s in his genes

Scientists have created models of human embryos by programming stem cells. The models give a glimpse into a key stage of development that can reveal new insights into genetic disorders and preventing failure in early pregnancy.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Scientists create human embryo-like models out of stem cells
Australian researchers have developed an AI algorithm called SpermSearch that can accurately identify sperm in severely infertile men in a fraction of the time it takes scientists, providing hope to men who want to father biological children.Continue R… Continue reading AI may help severely infertile men become fathers
If a couple is having difficulty conceiving a child due to low-quality sperm, in-vitro fertilization is always an option … although it frequently isn’t successful. A simple new device could help, by selecting only the best sperm to do the job.Continue … Continue reading Simple 3D-printed sperm-sorting device could help couples conceive
Swimmers who wore Speedo’s controversial LZR Racer suit at the 2008 Beijing Olympics broke 23 out of the 25 world records broken, proving that being more streamlined has advantages. A new study out of Japan has shown that the same theory applies to spe… Continue reading Protein behind streamlined sperm opens door for male contraceptives
Once again naked mole-rats have dealt scientists an exciting blow, with new research suggesting their anomalies in mammalian reproduction could hold the key to preserving human fertility.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Fertility, Reprod… Continue reading Hope for humans in naked mole-rat’s age-defying fertility
Male contraceptives have traditionally been limited to condoms or vasectomies, which aren’t ideal solutions for many reasons. Now scientists have demonstrated a promising new method that takes the form of a pill that can be taken just before sex, great… Continue reading Promising male contraceptive pill works in 30 minutes, wears off in a day
