Sea stars can produce eggs for up to 200 years. Their surprisingly human-like ovaries may offer clues about fertility and reproductive aging.

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...

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 ...

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 ...

This video explains the stages of mitosis, contrasts them with meiosis and the creation of haploid gametes, and concludes by showing how gametes fuse during fertilisation to form a zygote.
