The beginning of AI is often placed with the discovery of sperm by the Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and his assistant Johannes Hamm in 1678.

Scientists have studied female monkey embryos to map how, when and where the egg supply develops. This can now be used to ...

The maturation process of oocytes remains paused for several years. Researchers from Konstanz and Göttingen have now found ...

The fertilization of an egg by a sperm is central to human reproduction. A complex biological process transforms immature oocytes into ones that can ...

Scientists of the study also pointed out that arguably more simple procedures such as freeze-drying sperm itself (rather than the cells that assist in healthy sperm production), may carry health risks ...

The maturation process of oocytes remains paused for several years. Researchers from Konstanz and Göttingen have now found out which protein ensures this state is maintained over such a long period.

Humans are preparing for extended missions beyond Earth, and the question of space reproduction is no longer theoretical. A ...
