A new way to measure male fertility has been discovered by researchers at the University of Waterloo, opening the door to the development of simple, inexpensive tests for clinical and at-home use. The ...

Infertility affects about one in six couples, and male factors account for roughly half of all cases-often because sperm don't swim well. Researchers from the University of Osaka uncovered a key ...

Researchers from Monash University have discovered that using high-frequency ultrasound can boost the motility of sperm, potentially increasing a couple’s chances of conceiving. In a world first study ...

Scientists from Monash University in Australia are offering hope for couples struggling with infertility by enhancing sperm motility through ultrasound waves, addressing a significant fertility ...

Sperm motility is a finely tuned process essential for successful fertilisation, relying on the interplay of ion fluxes, energy metabolism and signal transduction pathways. Motility initiation and ...

Chemo-attractant binding to sperm causes a change in voltage, which activates the transporter SLC9C1. The structure of SLC9C1 is here described for the first time. Once activated the SLC9C1 protein ...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in the production of plastic materials. However, there have recently been concerns about its ...

Researchers used protein sequence data analysis and genome editing technology to find that sperm protein SPATA33 plays an important role in sperm motility regulation. Their findings will aid in the ...

An intense but short-term exposure to cannabis vapor lowered sperm counts and slowed sperm movement, or motility, not only in the directly exposed male mice but also in their sons, according to a new ...

Scientists have discovered a small molecule that prevents male mice from siring pups. The effects of this nonhormonal compound, known as CDD-2807, are reversible. Once the mice were off the compound, ...
