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 ...

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, ...

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, ...

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 ...

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.

Semen is a fluid that carries sperm, or male reproductive cells, out of the body during ejaculation. The average amount of ...

Scientists report for the first time that a snail’s seminal fluid proteins can suppress the mating success of the male side of its hermaphroditic partner. At the intersection of a red meat allergy and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Baby fish grow up differently depending on the liquid their father’s sperm swam in. The finding shows that fathers can influence their offspring through chemicals in the semen, as well as through the ...

More than 80 new proteins, thought to play a role in reproductive success, have been discovered in the seminal fluid of fruit flies. Seminal fluid contains protein factors that, when transferred from ...
