New research in an animal model of aging suggests a possible mechanism for why people with early menopause or other genetic conditions affecting the reproductive system are more likely to get ...

In the choreography of meiosis—the process responsible for sex cell division in all eukaryotic life—the pairing of homologous chromosomes (homologs) is essential. Errors in this process can lead to an ...

There is a high unmet need for accessible, affordable, and high-quality fertility care, as approximately 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility worldwide. While meiotic failure is a major cause of ...

Researchers at Rutgers University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Rockefeller University, and Cornell University are teaming up to examine how the processes that regulate gene expression and ...

More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care for those ...

More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care for those ...

Analysis of the phenotype of mouse germ cells deficient for the retinoic acid–responsive gene Stra8 provides insight into the timing of the commitment to enter meiosis in mammals. The observations ...

Here we describe a whole-mount immunolocalization protocol to follow the subcellular localization of proteins during female meiosis in Arabidopsis thaliana, a model species that is used to study ...

The human body is made up of billions of cells. These cells grow and divide through a process called cell division. There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a type of cell ...
