A study conducted by a research team at the Crick Institute identified important genes on the Y chromosome that regulate ...

It was found that male mice with no ability to produce the MC2 protein were unable to form the connection between the tail and the head of the sperm and the mice became infertile. The microscope ...

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 ...

Germ cells in men produce sperm. Testicular germ cell tumours can develop from germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS). GCNIS means that there are abnormal cells in the testicle. The cells look abnormal ...

Testicular cancer is when abnormal cells in a testicle start to divide and grow in an uncontrolled way. The testicles are part of the male reproductive system. The testicles are two small oval shaped ...
