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 ...

Gametes are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each ...

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 ...

A case in which a sperm donor was later found to be carrying a cancer-causing pathogenic variant in his gametes has highlighted the problems of regulating gamete donation at European and international ...

Cryopreservation and dry storage represent two complementary strategies for long-term preservation of reproductive cells and early embryos. Cryopreservation traditionally relies on ultra-low ...

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 ...
