TL;DR: College students will compete in a unique sperm race using microfluidic chips that simulate the reproductive system, promoting male health awareness. Backed by $1.5 million in funding, the ...

We often imagine sperm as swimmers, tiny cells whipping their tails to power through fluid on a mission toward the egg. However, a new discovery from Monash University researchers reveals a far more ...

On-site doctors processed the sperm, which was then placed onto a microscopic racetrack while audiences followed along on the big screen. (Curtis Luong / Daily Trojan) In the last sperm race of Friday ...

Athletics enthusiasts, here is a new competition for you to ogle: Sperm Racing. You may have read that male fertility is declining, and that decreased sperm motility (speed of travel) is apparently a ...

Katsuhiko Hayashi pulls a clear plastic dish from an incubator and slides it under a microscope. "You really want to see the actual cells, right?" Hayashi asks as he motions toward the microscope.

Katsuhiko Hayashi, a developmental geneticist at Osaka University, is working on ways to make what he calls "artificial" eggs and sperm from any cell in the human body. (Kosuke Okahara for NPR) ...
