(RNS) — Scientists have created a human embryo without the use of sperm or an egg — a true test-tube baby. Such embryos cannot (yet) develop into full-grown human beings. Even if transplanted into a ...
Studying how seals adapt to extreme environments could lead to benefits in human reproductive health
Wild animals that have acquired adaptions to maximize their reproductive output in some of the world's most extreme conditions may provide answers to some of the most pressing problems in the field of ...
Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...
In 2016, two Japanese reproductive biologists, Katsuhiko Hayashi and Mitinori Saitou, made an announcement in the journal Nature that read like a science-fiction novel. The researchers had taken skin ...
A human embryo embeds itself into a fake uterus created by researchers. Screenshot from an Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia video Sixty percent of miscarriages are caused by the failure of an ...
Progress in the in vitro derivation of human gametes (eggs and sperm) continues to advance. In vitro–derived gametes are generated using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) through a process called “in ...
We all know the drill for reproduction—sperm meets egg. But mice aren’t people. And the same recipe doesn’t work for human reproductive cells. One reason, according to Dr. Mitinori Saitou at Kyoto ...
A team of researchers has found microplastics in all 40 semen samples they examined from healthy men, highlighting the urgent need to study how these tiny particles could affect human reproduction. In ...
