Men's Eggs, Women's Sperm: Stem Cell Science May Change How We Reproduce
It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique known as "in vitro gametogenesis". This involves the creation (genesis) of eggs and sperm (gametes) outside the human body.

Synthetic Mouse Embryo With Developed Brain Grown Using Stem Cells
Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.

First-Ever 'Synthetic Embryo' Developed Entirely Using Stem Cells From Mice
Stem cells can be used to create a "synthetic embryo" without using a sperm, eggs, or a womb, according to scientists. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science were able to create an artificial embryo using only stem celll from mice. These synthetic embryos grew normally until day 8.5 when the early organ progenitors are formed such as hear...

Freeze-Dried Mice Successfully Cloned by Researchers, Could Help Conserve Disappearing Species
Researchers have successfully cloned mice using a technique that could be used to help conserve species that are threatened with extinction because of human-induced impacts like climate change. Scientists at Japan's University of Yamanashi attempted to freeze-dry somatic cells (any cell that isn't a sperm or egg cell) and successfully created 75 cl...

Up Your Zinc Intake To Boost Fertility During COVID-19 Pandemic, Finds New Study
Zinc has beneficial effects as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, and could prevent or mitigate the damage in the egg and sperm cells that result from the body's immune reaction to the virus, believe experts.

Heat Waves Caused By Climate Change Could Impair Male Fertility: Report
One way that heat kills is by increasing pressure in the skull, constricting blood flow to the brain. Damaged tissue can also enter the bloodstream and cause kidney failure. At a certain point, an elevated internal temperature simply incinerates cells in the body.

This Molecule Could Help Sperm Find Egg Cells Easily
Sperm swims up a chemical gradient to reach the egg, assisted by a pulsatile rise in calcium ion concentration in the sperm tail that controls its beating.

Common Sunscreen Ingredients May Disrupt Sperm Function: Study
Common ultraviolet (UV)-filtering chemicals used in sunscreens, makeup, moisturisers and lip balms may interfere with the function of human sperm cells, according to a new study that may account for unexplained male infertility.

Chinese Scientists Make Sperm From Mouse Stem Cells
Using embryonic stem cells from mice, Chinese scientists reported today they have created functioning sperm, which was injected into female mice eggs and resulted in normal, fertile offspring.

'Spermbots' Could Improve Fertility Treatments: Study
Scientists attached tiny metal helices to sperm cells that can aid poor swimmers to reach an egg, an advance that could improve fertility treatments.
