Father's seed The health of a male's seminal fluid can affect his fertility and how fat his adult offspring grows, a new study in mice has found. If the same thing applies in humans, the study could ...

Most of us remember that awkward class in school. It all starts with “when a man and a woman decide to make a baby…” and ends with some variation on birth control methods. Somewhere along the line, ...

Researchers have come a step closer to understanding how gonorrhea infections are transmitted. When Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacteria responsible for gonorrhea, are exposed to seminal plasma, the ...

Changes in EAE-associated gene expression were estimated during the peak of the disease (day 14 after EAE immunization). Because EAE is a T cell-mediated disease, we investigated the changes in IFN-γ, ...

Seminal fluid contains protein factors that, when transferred from a male to a female at mating, affect reproductive success. This is true of many different animals, from crickets to primates. In ...

Improved diagnosis and management of one of the most common cancers in men -- prostate cancer -- could result from research that has discovered that seminal fluid contains biomarkers for the disease.

For male fruit flies, sperm is not enough in the battle to reproduce – at each mating a cocktail of proteins is transferred to the female, many of which directly influence female behaviours in ways ...

Amyloid fibrils in the seminal fluid known to enhance HIV infection also plays the role of a quality controller in sperm selection. Amyloid fibrils found in protein mis-folding diseases have a normal ...

Production of foreign proteins in the tissues of transgenic animals represents an efficient and economical method of producing therapeutic and pharmaceutical proteins. In this study, we demonstrate ...

A man’s seminal fluid, not just his sperm, plays a critical role in the conception, development and future health of a child. Researchers have studied the complex interaction between male seminal ...
