A new single-cell map reveals how human reproductive organs form and respond to environmental influences A developing human ...

Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Hinxton mapped the ...

Mapping the human reproductive system offers new clues into conditions affecting reproductive organs and the environmental ...

We all know the drill for reproduction—sperm meets egg. But mice aren’t people. And the same recipe doesn’t work for human reproductive cells. One reason, according to Dr. Mitinori Saitou at Kyoto ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. The ...

The ability to create egg cells from human skin represents one of the most extraordinary frontiers in reproductive science. Researchers are exploring how to reprogramme ordinary body cells into viable ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

A new study shows that microplastics have been discovered within human reproductive cells. The Cool Down reports that the study, carried out in Italy, found microplastics in 14 of the 18 samples ...
