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 ...

Two new studies uncover how DNA folding controls sperm cell development. Researchers identified proteins that rearrange genomic architecture, setting cellular memory and fate. This 3D genome mapping ...

Researchers have developed a safe and accurate 3D imaging method to identify sperm cells moving at a high speed. The new method has the potential to significantly improve IVF treatments. Tel Aviv ...

Human reproduction requires both male and female gametes. Gametes are special sex cells that contain the genetic information necessary to create a new life. Men produce millions of gametes called ...

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 ...
