Termite kings and queens live in fortress-like colonies that can last for decades, yet their dynasties rest on a single, highly unusual reproductive partnership. Instead of competing mates and ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a photophobic response (light avoidance) in the unicellular apusomonad ...

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has become impossible to ignore. The standard sperm-meets-egg story posits ...

A sperm donor whose samples helped conceive nearly 200 children across Europe unknowingly carried a cancer-causing genetic mutation — a hidden risk now tied to multiple childhood illnesses and early ...

Scientists have identified a protein that may be key to proper sperm formation. Without it, male mice produced no viable sperm, they found. A team at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research ...

Researchers at the Columbia University Fertility Center reported the first successful pregnancy using an AI-guided method they developed to recover sperm in men with azoospermia, in which ejaculate ...

Groundbreaking research shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in sperm become more common—not just from random chance, but because some are naturally favored. Advanced sequencing revealed ...

In the age where video game adaptations are finally being given the justice and due diligence they deserve, Netflix has practically had the market cornered when it comes to animation. With a long list ...

While men may be able to have children much later than women, doing so could come with an increased risk of inherited disease for their children. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute have ...

The risk of older fathers passing on disease-causing mutations to their children is higher than we thought. Genome sequencing has revealed that among men in their early thirties, around 1 in 50 sperm ...

Harmful genetic changes in sperm become substantially more common as men age because some are actively favored during sperm production, new research has revealed. In a landmark study published today ...
