Molecular mechanism uncovered in mice by UC Santa Cruz researchers reveals how a father’s diet, stress, and other ...

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 landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

" The role of TLE6 in the development of sperm cells may vary between humans and mice. Therefore, further research is necessary to clarify the mechanisms by which Tle6 deficiency causes sperm ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Germ cells pass DNA to the next generation and undergo massive reorganization of their DNA packaging to generate totipotency, or the ability to differentiate into any cell type. Understanding the ...
