Prolonged paternal stress may impact the composition of sperm and have far-reaching effects on any resulting offspring.
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine looked at the biological effects of paternal stress on structures called extracellular vesicles that interact with maturing sperm in the reproductive tract.
A not-for-profit initiative by reproductive scientists building a new virtual system allowing broad educational access to hold meetings hosted by local, national or international reproductive organizations.
Researchers trying to understand what happens in the first moments after fertilisation have discovered that an enzyme previously studied in colon cancer plays a key role.
The study, published in Cell, shows that the enzyme SRPK1 is responsible for unpacking the genetic material stored in the sperm head, once the sperm has fused with the egg. This is the first step in the reorganisation and activation of the paternal genome, which is necessary for the formation of the new embryonic genome.
New guidance has called for fertility clinics in the UK to minimise treatment amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The spread of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes the disease COVID-19, presents UK fertility clinics and patients with a unique set of challenges.
After analysing all cell types in the human ovary, scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have shown so-called 'egg stem cells' do not exist.
