Discovery of a pair of genes that work in perfect harmony to protect male fertility, could provide new insights into some unexplained cases of the most severe form of infertility, research suggests.

Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa have developed new mouse models to study a key male fertility gene, ...

Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't produce enough ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute studying male mice engineered with different Y chromosome deletions have uncovered which genes on the mouse Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm ...

University biologists recently discovered a specific gene in human males that may be essential to sperm production later in life. In a study published in the February issue of the journal Stem Cells, ...
