Using a newly developed method researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) have been able to shed light on the complexity of genome ...

Advances in assisted reproduction are no longer limited to simple ovarian stimulation. An international team has just reached ...

A microscopic structure in mammalian egg cells called a meiotic spindle has one crucial job—and during egg maturation, it has only a few hours to do it properly. What happens in those few hours has ...

A simplified model describing the mutual gamete activation during double fertilization in Arabidopsis. Before fertilization EC1 proteins accumulate in secretory vesicles of the egg cell (A). Likewise, ...

Early lab work shows reprogrammed skin cells can yield embryos, hinting at future infertility solutions but raising safety questions that demand more study. Infertility affects millions of people ...

Performed remotely in Mexico by engineers and embryologists in New York, an automated fertility treatment resulted in conception and, more recently, a live birth. When you purchase through links on ...

MUCH of my time as a biologist has been spent looking through a microscope at the beginnings of individual lives, partly in an effort to understand a little of how animals develop from eggs, partly ...

The sparks of metal atoms may protect against double fertilization. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Whether you're a frog or a ...
