In the United States, an estimated 645,000 men ages 20 to 50 have azoospermia, a condition in which no sperm are present in their ejaculate. Now, scientists are testing a potential treatment: ...

Generational wounds may live in our genes. New research suggests that childhood trauma leads to a difference in the epigenetics of a sperm cell, which can impact a child's development and also be ...

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 ...

Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by ...
