To believe in the sanctity of life is to deny biomedical fact. Human reproduction is fundamentally flawed and grossly inefficient. Conceptional life is generally unsustainable, living on borrowed time ...
Scientists have detected microplastics in human semen and follicular fluid, the liquid that surrounds an egg in an ovarian follicle. "This is not an isolated finding –– it appears to be quite common," ...
Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...
Scientists have detected microplastics — the tiny and pervasive fragments now found in our seas, drinking water, food and, increasingly, living tissue — in human semen and follicular fluid, according ...
Researchers have succeeded in making human skin cells behave like egg cells, though the resulting fertilized embryos run them ...
A human embryo embeds itself into a fake uterus created by researchers. Screenshot from an Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia video Sixty percent of miscarriages are caused by the failure of an ...
Scientists created the eggs using DNA from adult skin cells, a step that could someday potentially lead to new ways to treat ...
Researchers have discovered microplastics and nanoplastics in the human brain, reproductive organs, and other vital systems.
Recently, scientists have reviewed the existing literature to understand how space travel, space radiation, and microgravity affect human reproductive functions. This review was published in Npj ...
