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 ...

Gene expression related to fertilization, sperm motility, and sperm structure in the testes of Tle6 -deficient mice showed an overall increase. Together, the findings of this study highlighted the ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered how sperm cells perform an extraordinary metabolic transformation after ejaculation, from quiet storage mode to full-speed motion in their mission to fertilize an egg. In a ...
