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 ...

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 ...

Once a sperm has broken through to an egg cell in order to fertilize it, the two cells need to hold together tightly. This ...

To figure out how they slither through substances that should, in theory, resist their movement, a team led by Kenta Ishimoto, a mathematical scientist at Kyoto University, investigated the motions of ...

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have published an analysis that reveals new functions of the ...

Researchers have discovered how sperm cells perform an extraordinary metabolic transformation after ejaculation, from quiet ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...
