In most living animals, egg cells are vastly larger than sperm cells. In humans, for example, a single egg is 10 million times the volume of a sperm cell. In a new study, Northwestern Engineering ...
Reproduction involves making quality gametes – egg and sperm – which are essential for species continuity and therefore have huge implications for human health. The quality of the gametes is not only ...
Progress in the in vitro derivation of human gametes (eggs and sperm) continues to advance. In vitro–derived gametes are generated using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) through a process called “in ...
Researchers led by Dr. LI Hongju from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed that the female gamete in flowering plants controls ...
Two novel hypotheses have been proposed that address the “two-fold cost of sex”: one of the biggest enigmas in the evolution of sexual reproduction. The evolution of sexual reproduction in living ...
