A study published in PeerJ unveils refined techniques for in vitro fertilization (IVF) in four key Caribbean coral species, offering a crucial advancement in coral reef restoration efforts.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) in mammals encompasses a series of coordinated steps that replicate the natural union of gametes outside the body. Following ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval, ...

Scientists have discovered how an embryo’s genomic integrity is safeguarded during the first 24 hours after fertilization. Insights into this mechanism have implications for improving in vitro ...

Howard Jones, who pioneered in vitro fertilization in the United States at his medical clinic in Virginia, died July 31 at a hospital in Norfolk. He was 104. The cause was respiratory failure, the ...

For species that rely on sexual reproduction, including mice and men, offspring can only happen if sperm from the male fertilize eggs from the female. Even artificial fertilization techniques depend ...

Researchers have uncovered a developmental switch needed to activate global transcriptional silencing, a key step needed for the fertilization of eggs. Zfp36L2 acts as a switch toward the end of ...
