The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the project ‘Sex-specific Contributions to Genetic Inheritance’ by the Cologne-based geneticist Professor Dr Björn Schumacher with 1.25 million euros ...
Researchers have uncovered a complex biological process that protects germ cells, the precursor cells to sperm, from genetic ...
Researchers have identified a novel Heat Shock Factor (HSF), designated as HSF5, which plays a crucial role in the completion of meiosis and the activation of genes essential for sperm formation. This ...
Researchers have found that germ cells, which develop into eggs and sperm, drive sex-dependent differences in lifespan in vertebrates. Female and male germ cells increase and reduce lifespan, ...

Women live longer than men. This isn't unique to humans, either; we see this trend in a wide range of other animals. Biologists have theorized that the discrepancy in life expectancy between sexes ...
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy in Patients With Preexisting Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical data were extracted from the Danish Testicular Cancer database. For each patient, 10 men matched on ...
Deletion of hsf5 in mice results in the impaired development of testis (left), and the absence of spermatids and spermatozoa (right), which leads to the failure of sperm formation. Kumamoto University ...
