In the intricate science of reproduction, the creation of offspring has long relied on the union of sperm and eggs, whether naturally or through assisted techniques like in vitro fertilization. Both ...

Scientists at Kyoto University have uncovered a hidden protein complex that organizes DNA in sperm stem cells, a discovery that reveals surprising ties between fertility and cancer. When this protein, ...

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that predominantly affect adolescents and young adults. Notably, geographical disparities in GCT incidence exist, with higher rates ...
