Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells ...

More work needs to be done to create viable human embryos, but the method might someday be used in IVF to help infertile people and male couples.

Cell division, the basic means by which genetic information is passed from generation to generation, involves tightly coordinated movements of a cell's DNA. This page describes the major phases of ...

An international research team led by Baylor College of Medicine and The University of Osaka have found a way to resume sperm ...

Certain proteins may have evolved to tamp down 'cheating' during meiosis, the cell-division process that gives rise to eggs and sperm. While chromosomes can tip the scales in their favor of winding up ...

There is a high unmet need for accessible, affordable, and high-quality fertility care, as approximately 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility worldwide. While meiotic failure is a major cause of ...

But improved fertility treatment is still far away ...

Scientists created the eggs using DNA from adult skin cells, a step that could someday potentially lead to new ways to treat ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have accomplished a unique proof of concept to treat infertility by turning ...

Interphase is the period between cell divisions. During this time, chromosomes replicate—each DNA strand unzips into two strands while free-floating bases attach to the unzipped strands. The ...

The centrioles are now at opposite ends of the cell. The spindle fibers from both of the centrioles attach to each one of the chromosomes. Same as in mitosis, except that the spindle fibers from each ...
