The situation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in Kenya reflects a global trend of underrepresentation, often referred to as a "leaky pipeline," in which female ...

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer immense potential in reproductive medicine, particularly for males who lack germ cells and cannot achieve biological parenthood through conventional ...

A large Nordic study has provided new evidence on the role of high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous stem-cell support in men with germ cell cancer, a rare but usually highly curable form of ...

Ultrastructure expansion microscopy of murine male germ cells reveals the fine molecular structures of centrioles (shown in the enlarged image). DNA is stained in blue, and the chromosome axis in red.

ABSTRACT: Male infertility is known to contribute to about half of all infertility cases. In Ghana, the prevalence of male infertility is higher (15.8%) than in females (11.8%). We evaluated ...

University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa scientists have uncovered a direct link between a missing Y chromosome gene and male infertility. Their new research reveals that deleting this single gene in mice not ...

The development of male germ cells comprises a series of differentiation events that culminate in the formation of spermatozoa. From the primordial germ cell (PGC) to the spermatid, an array of ...

The median age at diagnosis was 26 years, with a male predominance (96.3%). Common histological subtypes included seminoma (34.3%) and yolk sac tumor (31.3%). First-line chemotherapy comprised ...

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 ...
