Scientists chart a comprehensive cell atlas of the developing human reproductive system, offering new clues into congenital disorders.

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

Recently, scientists have reviewed the existing literature to understand how space travel, space radiation, and microgravity affect human reproductive functions. This review was published in Npj ...

Despite the fact that we all start out as an egg cell in one of our mother's ovaries, these human reproductive organs are surprisingly under-studied. Scientists have been working on creating in vitro ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialise to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

New research presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) reveals the presence of microplastics in human reproductive fluids, raising ...

Scientists have found significant quantities of microplastics present in human and canine testicles, raising concerns surrounding their potential impact on the human reproductive system. Microplastics ...

Scientists have detected microplastics in human semen and follicular fluid, the liquid that surrounds an egg in an ovarian follicle. "This is not an isolated finding –– it appears to be quite common," ...
