This workshop will explore the in vitro derivation of human gametes (eggs and sperm) from stem cells. Sessions will consider scientific and clinical goals motivating research in this field, technical ...

Making gametes such as sperm and eggs from pluripotent stem cells, primitive cells that can make all the tissues, greatly contributes to efficient reproduction of livestock animals and future assisted ...

Scientists from Nagoya University, Yokohama City University and Chubu University have developed a system which enables the live imaging of the formation of the female gamete in plants. In flowering ...

Researchers at Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen and Kobe University discovered populations of female brown algae that reproduce from unfertilized gametes and thrive without males. In a study ...

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. Two novel hypotheses have been proposed that ...
