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 ...

Special proteins -- known as membrane transporters -- are key to the mobility of sperm cells. A research team has, with the aid of cryo-electron microscopy, succeeded in decoding the structure of such ...

Two new studies uncover how DNA folding controls sperm cell development. Researchers identified proteins that rearrange genomic architecture, setting cellular memory and fate. This 3D genome mapping ...

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 ...

Researchers at Newcastle University in England report they have coaxed the first human sperm cells from embryonic stem cells, in a remarkable demonstration of how quickly the field of stem-cell ...

(from left to right) Prof. Dr. Hubert Schorle, M. Sc. Andjela Kovacevic and Dr. Simon Schneider uncover the contribution of Cylicin Structural proteins in male infertility. For successful ...
