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," ...

Scientists have detected microplastics — the tiny and pervasive fragments now found in our seas, drinking water, food and, increasingly, living tissue — in human semen and follicular fluid, according ...

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 ...

It’s time to talk about the birds, the bees and the PTFEs. They’re already in our lungs, livers, kidneys, blood and even our brains. New research out Tuesday in the journal Human Reproduction reveals ...

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 ...

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 ...

Whether it's our bloodstream, brain, or lungs, microscopic fragments of plastic seem to turn up every time scientists scour a new corner of the human body. The male reproductive organs are no ...

Scientists created the eggs using DNA from adult skin cells, a step that could someday potentially lead to new ways to treat ...

Microplastics continue to be one of the greatest risks to our health; they are not only the ones that are affecting the climate but also humans. They are almost everywhere, be it in the air that we ...
