Research indicates that vitamin D enhances sperm quality in adult males. This study aimed to explore whether vitamin D inhibits NLRP3 activation, thus helping to mitigate heat stress damage to ...

Sertoli cells (SCs), as somatic cells within the testis, serve as the principal structural elements of the spermatogenic tubules. The distinctive junctional complexes formed by SCs create a supportive ...

Jan. 28, 2025 — A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a mouse with two male parents -- that lived until adulthood.

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the bipotential precursors of mature gametes that commit to an oogenic or spermatogenic fate in response to sex-determining cues from the fetal gonad. The critical ...

Germ cell development and stem cell biology are ... significant gene expression changes and new gene formations in late spermatogenic stages, which are likely influenced by selective forces ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — A new study has highlighted the potential of resveratrol, a natural compound found in grapes, blueberries, and raspberries, to enhance female fertility. The systematic review ...

The presence of two types of hair cells, the inner and outer hair cells, in the organ of Corti was appreciated nearly a 100 years ago but the function of the two has only become clear in the last 20 ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...
