About 9% of men of reproductive age in the United States experience fertility problems. One of the many causes of male infertility is a failure in germline development, the process by which embryonic ...

Special proteins known as membrane transporters are of key importance for the mobility of sperm cells. A research team from the Heidelberg University Biochemistry Center (BZH) headed by Prof. Dr.

When sperm cells race to the grand prize of an unfertilized egg, the rule is always "every man for himself"—or so biologists have assumed. But Harry Moore of the University of Sheffield in England ...
