New research has mapped the cell types that specialise to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

The development of sex-specific characteristics is frequently seen in mammals. These characteristics stem from the activation of corresponding genetic programs that until now have been largely ...

Provider training on female reproductive organ-sparing and nerve-sparing radical cystectomy needs to improve, according to investigators. Investigators have identified important gaps in urological ...

Surprising pattern: The genetic programmes responsible for the development of sex-specific organ characteristics in mammals are turned on almost exclusively late in the development of the organs, in ...

In 2017, Ashley Moffett, a reproductive immunologist, walked to the pharmacy near her laboratory at the University of Cambridge, UK, to buy a pregnancy test. But it wasn’t for Moffett. Her postdoc, ...

Genetic conditions often result from inherited mutations passed down from one or both parents. In an inherited genetic disorder, a mutated gene is transmitted from a parent. 3 Recent developments have ...

From pregnancy to stronger immune responses, science reveals unique biological abilities that women possess and men cannot ...
