Microglia (immune cells) and the RANK protein are essential for triggering puberty and maintaining fertility in the brain.

Despite the fact that we all start out as an egg cell in one of our mother's ovaries, these human reproductive organs are surprisingly under-studied. Scientists have been working on creating in vitro ...

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," ...

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 ...

As an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist, I have spent several decades studying the hidden threats to human beings’ reproductive health and development. My goal has always been and ...

New research presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) reveals the presence of microplastics in human reproductive fluids, raising ...

We often think of eating disorders (EDs) as consequences of body dissatisfaction. The trope is that young women begin dieting to achieve an idealized body size and shape based on western culture ...
